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
Comments are cached until you reload, to reduce the traffic. Open the comments view of the post and pull down to refresh, then you should be able to see them all.
I've just tested this and it didn't work. I think this issue, of posts saying there is 1 comment when there are none, is some sort of Lemmy-wide issue. It drives me crazy, as it's impossible to know whether posts have a comment or not without looking at each individually.
I think it’s a lemmy thing cus I’m on voyager and sometimes I’ll see an empty comment section when there’s like 1-5 comments sometimes
If you're specifically seeing that there's one comment, but there are none when you open the comments, The two most likely scenarios seem like the posts are for videos and you have pipe links hidden in the settings, or you have an active user blocked.
Thanks. I've never blocked anyone, so it won't be that. Could be the other thing
Does it happen with defederated instances too? Say if the LW user gets a reply from a hexbear user? (I think those are defederated, at least)
That I'm not sure about. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
Why does this specific issue only happen to Sync then? I know that some things simply won't load because they aren't federated on your instance, which is not only a Lemmy-wide, but a Fediverse-wide issue. This only applies to some of the comments though, not the ones that I can see just fine in my browser.
It's not just Sync, I find. I've had this issue with other Lemmy apps yoo
I don't think it's a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It's happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.
If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
(I dunno, I really like Sync, but I've also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don't get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)
Doesn't work. Sync just can't load them.
