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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reread everything man, im not the asshole here.
It ia a very well written answer. But its absolutely NOT what was being asked.
OP literally said in the text body "I have everything worked out...im a pen and paper guy and cant code"
From saying i dont want to release on Google, want to release on F-Droid
The question is "Where can i find someone?" And the comment you think is so great does NOT answer that. Almost the last point of advice given in it is
Do you understand that this what OP is already asking? Like its literally what was being asked for, not a diatribe of why being asked to help with a project is often a waste of the programmers time?
Seriously go re read the entire post, and the entire comment that i replied to, you should see how douchy it is. It comes across as belittling and condescending. And it makes absolutely zero mention of where to go looking for someone help with this project.
If you reread them both and still think it is exactly what was being asked for, i will listen and genuinely try to understand how you think it answers the question.
And please, keep in mind that the question was posted in No Stupid Questions, so it should not matter how likely OP is to not have someone agree to help and accuses OP, obliquely, of having a "half-baked” idea, which i assert is a really shitty thing to do in this specific community.
And i dont think the post is bad advice, but that it is specifically NOT an appropriate response for this post, as it was written.
Like, answer the question first, and then give all that advice, but its pretty condescending to end it in a bullet point fashion with telling them to do what they LITERALLY by posting in the first place
I actual read the entire post and the comment and the comment is exactly on point. That you don't like the answer is your problem.
It's detailed, it's respectful, it tells OP exactly what to do yet here you are whining about it. I'm wondering if you can handle any reality with this attitude
This is OPs response to that same post.
That emphasis is mine, clearly it doesn't answer the question just because it is well written and is a useful response, to a question not answered.
The question was where do i not how do i
