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.

Currently I use 'Jerboa for Lemmy' It has yet to fail me but that is the usual default app. If anyone has any information of a better app I am willing to try another :3
Unfortunately it is currently broken with lemmy.world. For those of us that are already signed in it seems to work ok, but new users will need to use something else at the moment. Connect for Lemmy is a good alternative on Android.
Ah that I did not know bout, it did take me a while to get it working with the app, alot of stubbornness to work with world. Jerboa overall does have its moments of lag and would like to replace :c Will check out connect if it does not lag as much as Jerboa. Always good to have sources of other apps then one and only app.
Connect looks pretty slick, but I'm actually pretty happy with Jerboa and will probably stick with it. I was helping someone get setup on Lemmy last night though and ran into the server error for the first time. I ended up setting her up with Connect and was impressed with how polished it looks, but honestly the simple layout and interface of Jerboa is just fine for me. I definitely agree about the value of having a variety of options, and expect there will be more to come soon!
This is because Lemmy.world hasn’t updated to 0.18 yet. The admin said captcha doesn’t work on 0.18.0 so he’s waiting till 0.18.1.
I just signed up with another instance. Is there a particular reason everyone wants to use lemmy.world? I went with sh.itjust.works.. will I run into any issues?
I initially chose it because (I think) it didn't require me to wait to get approved. Or I just forgot about that again. Another reason was because of the post lemmy.ml asking people to join elsewhere because there were so many new people it got difficult for their server to handle and lemmy.world was the next I saw.
I did make multiple accounts (on different instances) though to have a sort of backup just in case something happens, as unlikely as that may seem.
I haven't heard of any incompatibility issues with shitjustworks specifically, but I really don't know. I chose Lemmy.world to be on the fastest growing server with the most activity, but really if it's a federated server it shouldn't matter too much.
