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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because I may be posting the first stupid post. I recently discovered Perchance after getting far too annoyed with another platform. I saw a challenge and wanted to enter but it required me being a member of this site, Lemmy.World. So here are my question(s):

  • What is the purpose of Lemmy.World?
  • How is it used?
  • Is it like anything else I might be familiar with to help me understand better? (Note: almost 70 so may need old references.)
  • What's the relationship between this site and Perchance?
  • What else should I know that I didn't know to ask?

Because I was raised this way ... thank you in advance for being patient with me.

Others have summarised lemmy, lemmy.world and its use quite well already, so i just looked for the connection to perchance:

I checked perchance.org and they mention that they have a community on lemmy where one can ask for help or share creations. (Similar to the "No Stupid Questions" community you posted this to)

They specifically link to this community: !perchance@lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/perchance)

So no real relationship other than that they use Lemmy as a platform for their users to exchange on and use lemmy.world as a "provider" for their community space (or "forum" in older words)
