Not really, no, but it is good in it's own way.

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.

MODERATORS
There's some people on here trying to make Lemmy like Reddit was when Reddit's idea of communicating in 2016 and onwards.
Let's not let that happen.
Brother what does this say.
2016 was the beginning of the end. Constant propaganda posts, hijacked subreddits, lack of admin action on hate speech and occasionally even active propagation. An absolute shit show and the acceleration toward free fall. I do not miss 2016 Reddit.
Lemmy now is like when Reddit was like slashdot
Which was when Slashdot was like BBS before the Eternal September
We need a new meme style to explode and the small communities to grow, then we'd be there.
Yes, but now with more unhinged troglodyte authoritarian moderators.
Oh how history has been white washed. Lemmy isn't perfect. But reddit never was either.
You feel like there are more power tripping moderators here?
I feel like Lemmy has been pretty chill. Most communities are small enough they're just happy to have some kind engagement. They haven't been deleting my post because my title wasn't formatted correctly or because it didn't perfectly fit one ultra-specific niche
