Hello everyone! First of all, I’d like to say thank you to every one of you for your support! Our community is about to be the first user-made one to reach 1K users/week on this instance. And our friends over at Ask Lemmy and Mildly Infuriating are following very closely, which is just as amazing!
We’re all working together to establish healthy communities and a friendly atmosphere here. And over at !NoStupidQuestions, we believe that all our members should have a say in what we do & how we do it.
Do you see anything wrong with our rules? Would you like anything removed and/or added? Do you think Rule 6 is useful and good for the community? Do you want a discord server or a matrix chat room?
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have & share your suggestions and ideas!
With Love,
!NoStupidQuestions Mod Team
I’m not on lemmy.world, but I’d just like to say that im always sad when I see communities using Discord for communication. It’s the exact opposite of lemmy. And if one considers the current Reddit measures as harsh, they are pretty soft compared to Discords stance on such matters. Information that goes in there is basically lost. So go the entire way with Matrix.
We did! You can join our matrix chat room by following directions at our sidebar :)

Matrix.
Stupid question, couldn’t resist. On Jerboa, I am not seeing the link to the rules. Gonna look around a bit more.
On the community page, click on the up right 3 dots, then community info.
The rule list could use some formatting so they are scannable. Right now every rule is one long text paragraph. If the central words or short summary head were bold it’d be much better UI and UX wise.
It may be worth it to consider or discuss whether certain types of questions that have more fitting alternative communities should be posted there and not here. (General open questions may be better fit on asklemmy. Questions that are not “stupid” either through lack of knowledge or lack of context knowledge or risk of being looked down upon may not belong here.) Although moderating those could become difficult because they may not always be clearly one or the other.
Asking for opinions is not a possibly considered stupid question unless it’s something people generally don’t have to ask about or shouldn’t ask about.
I would suggest an FAQ for newbies, since so many are flooding in (like me). Too big a burden for a few sysadmins or mods, so I would suggest you crowd-source it. If Lemmy has wiki-like capabilities, you could use those. Or as a last resort, you could use the actual en.wikipedia.org. This is my first day here, and I’ve read tons but I feel as though I’m lost and without a map.
