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.

I know that people are claiming that this isn't an issue, but I am seeing the same. I just started blocking those communities every time I see one. They are probably just sorting their feed differently and assuming that their experience is the same as everyone else's. Blocking them (the bot, or the community) is really the only option.
I kept seeing European football posts. And car racing. I just block any of those communities when I see them. ADHD and autism memes too. There's a lot of those for some reason.
Some of those memes are funny. For me it’s blocking furry porn, sports, the strange sissy hypno stuff and photos of dicks.
I don't want to jynx myself, but come to think of it I haven't seen a single dick pic since joining lemmy.
If you browse a typical instance on All>New and turn on NSFW, there are various communities specifically for that.
I see, when I'm on All I browse by Hot.

Also unix socks? Not to shame anyone but what? Why?
Isn't that like a network protocol or something?
Car racing? Do you happen to remember the community and instance?
Reply here pls when you find it
No, sorry. My brain literally shuts off when people even begin to mention cars, sports, pretty women... Things that I care nothing about.
Lol understandable. No worries.
