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.

When people post YouTube links.. is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I'm on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it's pissing me off like in a huge way.. is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

I wonder if you clicked and held the link if it would give you an "open with" prompt where you could choose an app like NewPipe or if you could have it auto redirect to a Piped source

Ooh cute idea I'm going to try that.. Wait tho, you said an app.... is new pipe good for YouTube? Do you have a better recommendation?

https://grayjay.app/ if you're on android

edit: Firefox on Android also allows add-ons, so you can install ublock origin in the firefox android app and probably watch ad free that way as well.

You know what's super creepy? A robot just responded to a post I made on a YouTube link and recommended piped as an open source alternative haha that shit was freaky as fuck lemmy is cool

Iirc, some researcher or home user found out that iOS and Android are definitely spying on us. Probably windows too.

Grayjay is not open-source, though, by the way. It's source-available, i.e. you're allowed to look at the source code, but you're not allowed to do anything with it.

Oh yeah there's lots. I feel like a lot of people use ReVanced but I've never tried it. I use NewPipe because it allows me to locally export my subscriptions and use the open source frontend Invidious on desktop.

A bit of a personal preference. I imagine one of the piracy megathreads would have a list of community favorites. FMHY or the one on dbz0 would be worth looking at.
