No Stupid Questions
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.

First, welcome!
So if
lemmy.cadoesn't federate withbadlemmy.xyz, you won't see any content from users frombadlemmy.xyzfrom yourlemmy.caaccount.For
lemmy.ca, their announcement community is !announcements@lemmy.ca and they also have !main@lemmy.ca and !meta@lemmy.caThank you!
I'm I missing out on anything with my world account?
Lemmy.world is defederated from quite a few big instances (most notably hexbear) but honestly most people end up blocking hexbear anyway so you're not missing much.
Yeah man, but being on the largest instance, you're missing the fun of federation. Go make a fun alt. I highly recommended dbzer0.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed dbzer0.
What am I missing?
Piracy content.
Is that not featured on my view?
Federation
That doesn't really explain it to me...
Well you could join startrek.website and federate while chatting about the Federation. That could be neat!
Can't argue with that.
Hexbear (leftist instance), NSFW content, and all piracy content.
Oh okay; which one has access to everything?
I am on Midwest.social and I believe they only block lemmygrad, threads, and a few others. Check out the site + /instance to see who they are federated with and who they block. For example: midwest.social/instances. By clicking the blocked instances tab, you can see who they have blocked. Others that have very open federation is lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemm.ee. Others can chime in if their instance is good for this.
Lemm.ee is good
