I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community

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.

MODERATORS
I think it is very well explained. You don't need to go to other instance to follow them.
They are just merging with another community for convenience.
I don't get why are you so upset. It's not a big deal.
Also, you can create your own community in any instance you want.
"I don't get why are you so upset. It's not a big deal."
first off I'm not? I'm just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone's input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it's not convenient to just close a community without anyone's knowledge and punish the users who don't want to move so suddenly.
I get the feeling that you don't understand that you don't need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.
Not if you're on kbin. The new server isn't federated with kbin.social for some reason.
There's a reason why I don't use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii
They're working on the API right now. Kbin is much newer than Lemmy. Lemmy's been around for like 3 years while Kbin is a few months old.
I know :) I'm partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That's actually the main reason I didn't use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I'm not sure in all this time I've subbed to anything from my kbin acc.
Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring
Is it defederated? If not, afaik, someone will have to search for it first (and then post/comment? I forget. Lol). It doesn't federate automatically.
