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.

You want to go to the search bar at the top and search NoStupidQuestions then limit to communities/local, at least for communities on your instance.
You can also search !NoStupidQuestions from there and it should work, but you have to give it a second to show the search results. A weird, silly issue is that if you try to search from the communities page, it automatically narrows your search to communities, and for whatever reason that doesn't recognize the !NoStupidQuestions style nor urls from what I've found.
You have to switch the search settings to search all for it to recognize either of those styles.
I'm interested on how I search for specific communities in other instances.
I guess my question could have been more clear on that.
Similar idea as what I wrote, but instead of limiting to communities/local, you leave both as All when using the search bar at the top. For specific remote communities, if someone on your instance has searched for them before, then you may just need to search as community@remote.tld, for example: asklemmy@lemmy.ml.
If someone on your instance hasn't searched for the community yet, then you would need to copy the url for the community into the search (with it set to all both in type and scope) and do it that way, for example: https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
Unfortunately, to know of these at all, you typically have to go to the remote instance itself and look through the communities there are on their community page, or someone from a remote instance has to post to a community in your instance telling you about them. Otherwise unless someone else in your instance has done so & subscribed to them, I don't think they'll show up in the all feed of your instance.
I may be mistaken on this last part, but that's how the community connections work to the best of my understanding.
