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.

Reddit pereon here. After over a year (I think, didn't check) on Lemmy I still don't understand the details about how works. I'm pretty busy, and it works to get me my news and such, so it wasn't important to understand how it does so.
But now I'm inspired, thanks for that. I will look into changing servers, finding something that better fits my interests and such. I may even perhaps learn something in the process. Keeping the network decentralized is important, and I can do my part.
You can just create another account in another instance and run them side by side in a singular app. Switching back and forth is simple. I have a couple, reasons can vary, one would be that .world decided to take pirating communities off, to protect themselves. Whether they needed to or not, doesn't matter, it's their choice. I just hop to another instance to see those, but most of the content will be the same for me across instances because I haven't hunted to much for new subs. Probably should eventually.
It's for porn, isn't it?
Haha nah, when I first got to Lemmy I created an account on .ml, then .ca, made one on hexbear to understand who they were, one in world, and finally one on dbzero. Figured it couldn't hurt to find a community of people that was nice. Oh wait, forgot fedia.io when I wanted to figure out what they meant by seeing upvotes/downvotes and who was making them so I could understand more about the interworking of the instances.
Mostly I use world and dbzero now in Jerboa, fedia.io opens in the mbin app, so I haven't used it much. I kind of forgot about it till now.
You can easily export and import your subscriptions from the settings menu, so that makes changing instances quite easy
It's a shame that there isn't functionality for a full account port, including comments and posts.
That can easily be abused to overload instances with a lot of content. It's also technically challenging due to the way comments are posts are linked
Mastodon does not offer it either:
You can link to your former profile from your bio
Their for the tip.
