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.

Yeah, but reddits more than 10 years old...
Here's an article from 2013 talking about subs
https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a9623/10-curious-facts-about-the-birth-of-reddit-16123236/
Subreddits were added in 08. The great Digg migration was 2010. I feel old.
I was part of the great Digg migration and now the great Reddit migration....
Same here. Thought you looked familiar!
Same. I also remember when everyone moved to Digg from Stumbleupon
I liked stumbleupon. It feels like they are less website to stumbleupon anymore
Same here, my reddit account is 15 years old
Shit, I remember Fark.
Which was basically what reddit was when it started, fark just stayed that way. I think it's even still going...
Pfft, kids these days - I remember usenet.
Damn, skipped right over Slashdot.
What’s up with how toxic comments are on /. these days?
Try to tell a kid about BBS boards nowadays and they start singing about something called a BBL Drizzy...
My local BBS was great, but when the provider became an ISP, the BBS became a ghost town because everyone went to IRC and Usenet.
That ISP was also the local jerky company. Dad made the Jerky, son ran the modem pool. I miss the 90s.
I never had a Fark account but I remember following them religiously. I remember something about them crowdfunding an arena name for a day about an unsolicited finger in the ass.
DAE member Digg? I member that.
remember when image macros took over the whole thing?
