No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
We need you, too. As long as you're upvoting and downvoting, you're helping curate content.
Plus lemmy only counts users who have posted or commented as an active user. So making at least one comment is helpful to gain traction.
Yeah, they're actually the backbone of the community. We're not the power that keeps the trolls at bay, they are.
lol semi-lurking here as well. good comment tho
Yeah, but I'm still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody's gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that's our job.
Normally I'm more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I've seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.
I am but I'm very quickly finding out I have nothing to contribute.
I'm the most boring human alive.
I'm trying. so. hard. to. Help!
You should share the thing that you're most terrified to share with others and i bet its not boring... for e.g.... maybe you like to eat boogers... i am sure lots of people will be like... holy hell man... and they will be repulsed ... but it won't be boring. Then you could start a niche community of booger eaters and this community could share stories and recipes... and that sir or miss... is how you contribute instead of lurking.
Anyone want to creat a community about shameless farting in public or at the workplace? Or is this just me?
ahh, an avid member of /c/cropdusters i see
Same here, every post feels like I'm making a small contribution to a platform which I really want to succeed.
Exactly this.
definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
Nah, but I'm definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
I had a Reddit account ~10y ago. I was only a lurker in the days before the exodus. This feels like a real community.
Frist psot! /s
Lemmy is full. Pls leave
Me and my people are powered by spite. I am going to try and be more active to help everything along so that reddit may die.
I, too, am fueled by anger and spite
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
Well yeah I'm currently posting all oc things i made and posted on Reddit to contribute to Lenny so that people are encouraged to join
And i also got a few gigabytes of content I could repost, too.
