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
Tip: Don’t post about Reddit on Lemmy.
I dunno but I always get the impression that these fucking people that are too cool for school and need to loudly tell everyone how little they care about downvotes every chance they get, are probably also the people that go around using downvotes in bad faith and making the platform a little less welcoming for everyone.
My advice would probably be to just stay away from instances that are populated with the kind of people that use downvotes as a 'disagree' button or panic button to make themselves feel better when reading something they don't understand. Those were always the worst people on Reddit that dragged the experience down for everyone. And it sucks that they're all here too. And in a smaller pond, they're going to be making a bigger splash.
I'd find a nice instance and / or communities to spend 90% of my time in and only actually go to places like Ask Lemmy in world when you actually feel like dealing with smart alecs and neckbeards.
Edit: and downvoting people for talking about downvotes isn't actually funny, it's just proof that you use downvotes for the wrong reasons. For the meme and 'disagree' button.
Whining about downvotes gets you an automatic downvote.
Asking how to evade a ban is asshole behaviour and gets you a downvote.
Expecting people to give a shit about reddit gets you a downvote
Dragging your reddit grievances in here and expecting people to take your side gets you a downvote
Nobody cares about forum drama on another fucking platform, especially one they joined lemmy to get away from.
i never asked how to evade a ban but ok ?
One thing I've observed, commenting about downvotes tends to get you downvotes. Did once on a shower thoughts thing I commented on and I edited thinking people where actually pissed, ended up with around 3X as many after the edit. 😄
Agreed
W.r.t. Reddit specifically... a lot of people fucking hate Reddit and would rather not help you use that platform - that likely attracted a fair number of downvotes.
More generally, you're asking if another platform can do X - yes they can, they're another platform... we're not the deciders of what Reddit can and can't do.
Additionally, I personally, at least, hate commenting on questions about bans or evading bans because sometimes bans are well deserved and I'll never know enough about the situation to be comfortable giving actual advice.
Lastly, I think a fair number of users prefer nice open ended questions and that one isn't really beneficial to the community to spur an interesting discussion... instead it feels more like something a websearch would give you relatively reasonable answers without requiring time or effort from other lemmings.
Oh... and this question is being downvoted because discussions of downvotes are boring and karma isn't a thing here.
Sorry if these experiences aren't a nice introduction but I think the wider answer is that this community is a mismatch for both your original and follow up question.
Because we dont like fascists, fascist apologists, or trolls.
I would also ban you for writing in a language I can’t comprehend. It’s hard to grasp the nuance when you don’t understand the language, and it’s hard to moderate if you can’t understand the nuance.
Ohh ok, tysm
You would ban because you don’t understand? That’s wild.
Wouldn't that be too harsh? They could get a notice, like can you switch to english because of rules?
OP says she got a message that literally said it was because they don’t like Russia/the culture, oddly
Yeah
Seems like a self fulfilling prophecy at this point.
This one is getting downvoted because you just reposted the same question.
The last one got downvoted, because your assumption that it has anything to do with instances was wrong.
The one before that was asking how to get around a Reddit ban.
Stop posting stupid shit, and your perspective will change.
you don't have to engage if it's "stupid".
Also, i asked if the sub owner would get banned, not to get around one.
You asked a question, I gave an answer. Sorry if it didn't make you feel validated enough.
You can tell me I'm wrong and keep asking the same questions and keep getting downvoted or take the new information and learn from it, it's your call.
OP probably wanted an "unbiased answer", IDK. they shouldn't keep reposting stuff either
maybe you didn't read the whole post, IDK
Also, I've since discovered that they are a 13 year old girl.
I think this just isn't their target audience.
Since they list themselves as he/they/she:
No, they're trolling you.
Yeah, probably. What communities could they be redirected to?
I'm convinced that all of Lemmy is just nerdy liberal middle aged men.
Liberal for world actually leftist for the rest
Looks like your posts are being downvoted. Yes, downvotes exist in .world.
They are not an attack on you, just on what you said. Just move on, and the next time you want to post something, post it.
Did you read the rules of that community?
