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.

You just join another instance like normal.
But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can't really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.
I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber. Ironically, it turns out the crap person in particular coloured my perception of other lemmy servers ages ago to make it seem like other lemmy servers were a cesspool (they are not)
It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers
I haven't seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.
In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway because servers are mostly federated
Well that clears that up!
As far as not wanting to leave lemmy.world, you can't see life through their eyes.
Me personally, I've decided to stay, but only because my top priority is having an instance that won't be gone in a year because they have 6 users, and the admin doesn't want to pay for an instance no one uses.
If I could find a stable instance, with no threats of being shut off ever, that doesn't defederate with anyone, I would go there.
The OTHER reason I don't leave is because Lemmy isn't ready for prime time. I'm on Lemmy.World, which despite the intentions of Lemmy, is essentially the centralized hub. And one of the biggest reasons I don't leave is that if I want to create a new community, I CAN'T do so on any other instance besides my home instance.
This means I can move to a less populated instance, create a community, and nobody will see it.
OR
I can stay here, create the community here, and it will get seen more often by people browsing by local. Or exploring what communities this instance has.
But I suspect eventually you'll be able to give instance admins the ability to allow non-local users to create communities. And I suspect the norm will be for admins to allow this. This will allow Lemmy to grow, and maybe users will spread out more.
My biggest reason FOR wanting to leave Lemmy.World would be to be on an instance that doesn't defederate from ANYONE. I'll choose what content is offensive to me, thank you. Which for me, is next to none.
lemm.ee is pretty big and doesnt defederate nearly as much as lemmy.world
