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.

do you have a link? i don't see it in open PRs and didn't notice it looking through a bunch of the recent merges
I would assume that this would also reduce load on the lemmy servers.
It should, since the clients wouldn't have to constantly ping and fetch new posts from the server, but only do so on demand.
So, keep in mind, Lemmy is an incredibly young platform. It's still kinda buggy and it looks like they got caught a little bit flatfooted (which is fair, who would have considered that Spez was this much of an idiot prior to it happening).
It's likely that the project has a number of bugs that will have to be ironed out now that they're rolling at a decently sized scale, and this is one of them. Things will likely get patched up fairly quickly, but it still requires dev time.
I think we need to make the auto-updating feature opt-in. No sense in designing a software that DDOSes itself.
How young is it? I suppose I could look that up.
Look I just wanted to comment on your name okay? <3 Shin Chan!
I tried clicking on this post, by the feed reshuffled before I could.
Read faster
Screenshot it before it moves, that way you can read it in your gallery without interruptions
Found this frustrating too,
I started using the app for lemmy because of this. The app is really nice!
I can't with this...
I was getting ready to reply and it literally timed out on me! Lol
Also, Futurama!
Happy someone caught the reference!
Also, if you are impatient like I am, consider giving kbin.social a try. It doesn't seem to have the issues that lemmy does, but still has all the same content! (as far as I can tell, anyway)
Hooray!
I looked at kbin but it doesn't have an app. Mastodon comes up but I don't know what that is yet. I'm not terribly impatient though, so I can handle the growing pains at the moment.
It's a bug, will be fixed soon.
This is why I'm using kbin right now.
I am on kbin now, and, so far, it seems actually usable. Thank you for a working solution!
I like how kbin functions, but now how it looks. Lemmy instances seem more minimal in their design. Idk how to put my finger in it, but kbin just feels clunky imo.
I read somewhere that kbin supports themes, so you may be able to address your design issues that way.
I don't like the way either of them look, to be honest. kbin not refreshing the feed while I am reading it is the sole factor for me.
Using apps fixes it
The app has its own issues. Every time I upvote or comment I get a timeout error.
What device and what app?
Jerboa for Android
I’ve tried mlem for ios but it doesn’t seem to load properly for me.
I didn't encounter these issues while using another instance but lemmy.world.
Yeah I really don't know what instance to go for.
Lemmy.world sounds least political but it's not stable. Apparently beehaw is now also defederated from .world so immediately we're missing some huge communities that are now going to be split across two instances that don't work together.
So now I'll need multiple accounts to use multiple instances of the same thing. This sort of defeats the whole purpose of a connected system. It could just as wel create worse echo chambers than we have on traditional socia media.
Beehaw defederating from the biggest instances is why I ultimately made an account over here but it's honestly not a good sign that the fediverse is already imploding. Most of us left reddit to get away from idiots on a power-trip trying to control how we talk to each other and it took about eleven seconds for it to get just as bad over here.
Growing pains. It's been a week, for most of us...
If beehaw wants to be a secluded small community they're free to do that. There will be replacement communities.
Websockets for when Lemmy was relatively empty, so an auto update would be one every minute rather than a torrent.
