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
Quite a few people have been really hostile to the idea of spreading across the federation from lemmy.world. Some just are fixated on the idea reddit 2.0 over everything else right now. Even more so, I've offered to host and help migrate over some book/writing related communities that are on lemmy.world and it like seems some of the mods in communities there are fine with doing but if they did so lemmy.world would just reopen the community with new mods choking the new community to death. When lemdroid migrated over lemmy.world overtook the community and reopened it with new mods, lemdroid still doesn't compare in size to the android community they forcefully reopened.
Alongside that, I've considered opening a general art focused lemmy instance to help spread things out further, but I don't know if I could pay for two instances right now. Right now literature.cafe is out of my pocket, but I have a nice domain for it on hand and the spare time to make if there is interest and others willing to contribute, so who knows. dunno where to even gauge interest on that though tbh 🤷
what is with fedi instances and wanting to be the biggest hugest one out there? eugen with .social/.online, the whole universeodon saga, and now lemmy.world...
i mean, i can understand redditors not being open to change and just wanting things as they are, but ruud operates mulltiple fedi services aside from lemmy (basically anything with the .world tld is connected to mastodon.world/ruud). he of all people should know better.
re your art instance: one of the main problems with this kinda thing is it's hard to find people who are both technically inclined, AND can deal with community moderation (which is difficult and is expressly why i haven't done anything other than a brief single user instance) AND has the resources to keep one up and running. have you considered asking around a couple well moderated art communities ahead of time, and just handling the tech portions yourself while they handle the moderation?
i guess that won't help with the money part though
