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.

I think reddit was a slow change. Like the old boiling a frog saying. I didn't realize how bad it got until I got here and remembered what reddit was 10+ years ago when i started. Talking to humans that aren't a giant echo chamber. Not questioning the motives of every post or feeling manipulated. Not just a thousand tiktoc reposts or tweets. The comments that show different sides of a discussion instead of knowing exactly what the top comment is on most threads before opening the comment section.
Reddit slowly became predictable and routine. I didn't hate it while I was there, some things I did, but mostly I fell into the echo chamber without realizing it.
The Reddit hive mind has been a joke for ages, but I agree. Eventually it just got stale and upsetting.
Lemmy.world might be where I land, not sure yet. You need a certain number of users to make it work and this site has gotten popular enough that maybe it can work. But I don't think I will be sticking with Reddit much more
That's basically where I'm at. Lemmy is very interesting, and I enjoy that it's not being held hostage by the whims of corporate dipshits who only care about profit, but I'll go wherever the interesting content is. I just hope that place isn't back to reddit or twitter.
