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
I always found those bots so obnoxious. You probably have access to 4 different calendars through your apps and devices, we don't need to be a part of it.
Not everybody's brain works like yours and some may find it helpful to be able to do reminders within lemmy.
It would be a great idea if added to an app, I just don't think it belongs in the comment section. It will needlessly bloat the comments for a seriously small minority and be detrimental to the experience.
And lets be honest, its mostly laziness or not knowing how easy it is to use a calendar. The amount of users that can use lemmy but cannot share or copy/paste into a calendar because their brain works different is clearly very low and probably non-existant.
Ask it from the app devs, I'm sure one of them will see the use in it. No need to force it on us.
Habits can be built and rebuilt. I've known a disappointing amount of people who refuse to use a calendar for reminders out of pride and end up being all over the place in the end.
Uh, I use a calendar for reminders and frankly that's precisely why I don't want to use one for Lemmy reminders. It's clogged enough already with stuff that's actually important.
let's say you're on an android phone. you click share, if possible with the url of your home instance, pick calendar, choose a date and save. that seems much better than controlling a bot.
yuck. smartphone.
