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.

Not OP, but how does one read the 'modlog' on mobile?
Assuming you’re using a browser, on the main community page, expand the sidebar. The modlog is linked at the bottom, just above the list of mods. Here’s the modlog for /c/nostupidquestions
How the hell do you 'expand the sidebar?'
I don't totally get this user interface. Not for lack of trying, more for lack of I don't see what you're saying...
Go to the /c/nostupidquestions page in a browser: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
Near the top left, just under the community name is a label that says “Sidebar” with a little plus symbol to the right of it. Click this an it expands out, listing the community rules and a bunch of other info. At the very bottom of the expanded region is the list of mods. Just above that is a link labeled “Modlog”.
If you are using a mobile app or the mobile version of the site (m.lemmy.world) then you may not be able to do this.
And here's my message from the Jerboa app for Lemmy on Android.
I'm on the toilet right now, you expect me to drag my laptop in here?
The modlog seems also good on mobile browsers.
Please explain, how's that work?
What tap? What do?
I'm not exactly stupid, just new to this service..
On the standard Lemmy UI on Android if you click the site logo, top left, you should then see a sidebar button that contains the modlog link.
If your chosen mobile app doesn't offer the feature, then you can't. Every app that does offer the feature does it differently, so it's impossible for me to give you a single guidance that works on every mobile app.
I assume you do have access to a web browser on mobile though, so open your web browser, navigate to the instance hosting the community and/or your own home instance, and then depending on the layout used by your device the modlog will be a clickable link in the sidebar to the right, or will appear as a link near the bottom of the page after scrolling to the bottom.
I've actually found it now on the Jerboa app, but thank you and everyone else for the advice.
New platform to me, still learning, but hey I'm enjoying it so far anyways 👍
I had to quit using jerboa weeks ago (too unstable) and switched to something different. Glad you found it. The public modlog is awesome. It's one of the significant and intentional differences from reddit (which does not expose moderation activity to users). Having the modlog be public forces transparency and accountability, which is refreshing.
Huh, I'll admit Jerboa does have its moments of hiccups, but I haven't found any significant issues with it so far that I couldn't attribute to a lemmy.world temporary server issue. 🤷♂️
If you use Liftoff (which I largely recommend!) then you have to open the community or instance that you are interested in, and on the "about" tab (it shows the sidebar) there is a "modlog" button at the bottom, which if you click you'll see the modlog for that community or instance.
You can open the main page of a community by clicking on it's name when you see it (like in the header of a post), or by searching.
For opening the instance main page you basically click on the instance name until you see it. Most of the times it will get you there directly, but sometimes you'll need to find and click the instance name once more.
Or you can open either from a search menu, of course.
