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.

The opposite way for me.
I wouldn't say that I'm any more or less active a poster on Lemmy versus Reddit. If the community has a topic I'm interested in and engaging content, I will post and reply.
Just joined lemmy last night. (Now it's morning where I am from). Already commented 3-4 times. On reddit I used to comment once probably in a couple of weeks. It's probably because it's something very new and interesting. Also I am finding that people around seem nicer in a way maybe?

Absolutely! I'm posting multiple times a day some days and commenting a lot more. It feels a bit more like you get noticed but also doesn't feel like you're going to get your head bitten off just for speaking. And you can use emojis here 👍👋

Me too!
Nah, but I'm definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
Same Literally never posted on Reddit in my decade of lurking. Lemmy is more welcoming and 'charming' IMO
I'm pretty sure I already have more posts on Lemmy than my entire 10 years on Reddit 🤣
Can't really explain why but I'm way more active here. I think I just really want Lemmy to succeed.
I think it helps that the community vibe is completely different here. On some reddit subs your posts would get automatically removed for the most arbitrary reasons, and that really discouraged people from participating. Here I haven't encountered anything like that yet and most of the people that do participate have been super cool too.

I've come to start being more active too. I'm still trying to learn the ropes on posting, image sizes, etc. So far so good. Thank you Lemmy for getting me out of my (lurker) shell. I was active on the big R, but not as active as I am turning out to be on this platform.
Posting once or twice a day means you're posting (on average) 273x as much as you would on Reddit. That's a huge difference! 273x more posting would mean 273x more posts from people like you. (Of course, this is pretty optimistic).
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
I'm going to make an active effort to post stuff here, I used to just be a commenter on Reddit, time to branch out and try interacting with this place more. Should be fun.
Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.
definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
