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.

MODERATORS
Fake bans aren't a thing, but banning from an instance doesn't necessarily ban them from all communities (just the ones they've interact with up to the time of the ban).
This means someone on instance B, who is banned from instance A, can still interact with communities on instance A via instance B if instance B was not informed the person was banned from the community.
However, a user from instance B, banned from instance A, interacting with a community on instance A via instance B will not have their content federated via instance A (the home instance of the community). Thus, only other users on instance B should be able to see that user's submissions.
Clear as mud?
Edit: Maybe I can clear it up with an example.
Let's say you and your friend are both on
lemmy.cafe. I see your friend around in the Lemmyverse from my instance, and they're violating a bunch of my local rules to the point they merit a ban. Your friend has not interacted directly with any communities on my instance, so when I ban them, no community bans are federated.You and your friend are both subscribed to, say, !30rock@dubvee.org. Even though your friend is banned from my instance, they can still post/comment there from
lemmy.cafesince that instance has no idea they're banned from mine; non-local bans aren't federated, and since they hadn't interacted with that community prior to me banning them, no community bans were sent out.However, none of the posts/comments they make to
lemmy.cafe's local copy of that community will be federated by my instance (where the 30 Rock community lives). Thus, only users onlemmy.cafecan see what the banned user has posted.Hold on.....carry the 1.......divide by pi.......extrapolate the proton particles.......
........what were we doing again?
I had to explain it generally / "in a nutshell" since OP didn't provide any example data.
I got banned from 10 communities on your instance (with no stated reason/expiration) and I'm pretty sure I haven't interacted with most of those (EDIT: I'm remembering some now, though those were from months ago). So I'm not sure if I got marked by some bot or just said something some mod disagreed with.
This is not an appeal though as I don't care beyond a casual mention.
EDIT: Actually it is an instance ban, with everything (no matter what instance/comm) purged.
lol !30rock@dubvee.org
A post from there came up in my All feed and that’s how I figured out I was instance banned from dubvee. They instance ban you for nothing on there.
