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
It looks live you've been here for two months, how is it so far? You mention Lemmy being emptier, which topics interest you? Maybe we can suggest you a few communities.
tbh- I had made my account 2 months ago, but ONLY STARTED USING IT just a week ago cus I was locked out for whatever reason. I had forgotten about it then but now im desperate for a reddit replacement because reddit wont answer back my 20 appeals :' )
Im interested in shitposting, Costume construction/cosplay, I also ask a lotta questions n stuff, Home DIY improvement is a new one... That should be most of it.
Here's my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You'll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.
Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you'll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that'd going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).
You'll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.
Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that's universal, its the next best thing.
Hope you enjoy it here!
Then I guess you already know
For general discussion we also have !casualconversation@lemm.ee
There are a few threads with other active communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, feel free to have a look there too, maybe something will catch your interest!
I've been here never. 😄 (or for centuries, depending on your client 🤣)
