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.

so the main kbin homepage is "all" meaning, everything across the fediverse. that means we see content from lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, beehaw.org, lemmy.world, etc.
now, everyone can participate in each other's communities. for instance this community is nostupidquestions@lemmy.world. you and I are kbin.social users. our comments right now are being posted to lemmy.world. lemmy users can see such and respond to it.
m/main@sh.itjust.works is a community on sh.itjust.works. similar to how reddit.com/r/gaming is a community on reddit. however, we on kbin.social can also see and interact with that community. when we do so, people can see our username as coming from kbin.social, since that's what we're using.
tl;dr:
The site we are on is kbin.social. this is a website running the "kbin" software.
kbin can interact with other "fediverse" websites, such as lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works.
as a result, we see all their contents and users, and vice versa (noted with the @ url afterwards). the other users are not visiting kbin.social in their browser. If the account says lemmy.world they are going to the lemmy.world website, which can see kbin.social content just how we can see their content.
I'm replying to this from Jerboa (the Android Lemmy app), while logged in as my lemmy.ml account.
Federation; it's great (when it works). 😁
Only issue is I can't set up my kbin.social account on Jerboa, but eh, it's still in development, so I'll probably be able to at some point down the line (or someone'll make a more general Fediverse app). 🤷♂️
Yeah no, its made by one of the Lemmy developers, unless he suddenly decides to switch to Kbin development, Jerboa will never get Kbin support. Last i saw an app called Artemis was the one being developed for both Kbin and Lemmy
