The community is new and right now I am the only mod, but in the near future I will carefully add trusted people to help me moderate this place if it gets big enough.
This community is made with the objective of hopefully improving the onboarding experience for new users and the overall experience for veteran users alike, by sharing our questions and knowledge.
As you can imagine this community is heavily inspired by “No Stupid Questions”, the idea behind this new one is too take off the lemmy/fediverse questions out of the original, because it has become a support community.
We would redirect people to dedicated support communities(which there are already plenty) by ourselves if we thought this was an issue for our community. It is not. We also have feedback threads every week where our members can suggest any change they’d like for the community. We received no such suggestions.
Considering the way you set up your community, this will be considered to be a malicious attempt. Outside sources may not try to target our userbase and copy all our stuff without permission or cooperation.
All your community links are now blacklisted in NSQ. Cheers.
I agree with you that is likely a blatant attempt to copy NSQ but we don’t exist to moderate which communities get to have visibility or not unless they violate the rules of this instance or this community. They do neither and as such they get to advertise here.
Would probably come up when you search nostupid while looking for c/nostupidquestions. It’s just whether people are smart enough to figure out they should ask there instead.
I’m looking for recommendations of communities to subscribe to. I have a few from reddit, but some of the bot ones take over my feed with 20 news posts at once and then one from another community… I’m feeling like I’m not getting much variety and volume. If I read the first page I quickly get to yesterday’s posts
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

We also have feedback threads every week where our members can suggest any change they’d like for the community. We received no such suggestions.

Such blatant copy of NSQ. If it was somewhat discussed with @[email protected] everything would be fine. But you didnt.
Interesting, the main issue I see is getting people hearing about this community
No doubt, I think if we coordinate better we could make it work

NSQ is the more fitting community. They should write it there.
And that its a blatant copy
Is there a chat, discord/irc/etc around lemmy to ask questions?
