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.

Simple solution, start your own community with only positive news.
I'm not exactly asking for solutions. I'm wondering how people are dealing with that and why.
Few things.
The negativity here isn't just coming from politics, is lemmy as a whole. That said, when it becomes insessent, I take a break from lemmy from a few days to maybe a week and a half.
I still check reports and dms to address important matters but no commenting or posting or scrolling
When I do come back, I've had a break enough to be able to ignore all the bs enough to participate. You can't consume that toxic shit either.
I already know lemmy is toxic negative and highly political worth little to no engagement in non political stuff. So stick to subscribed communities.
And only look at rage bait when I'm good enough and detached enough to ignore it and have no desire to engage with it. You can't bc its never gunna stop.
Lemmy is mostly toxic. Little fun. Just stick to the 'little fun' and don't deviate from it. If you do it's time to step away and take a break
The ALL feed is never gunna be like reddit. Don't trick yourself thinking it will be because it won't.
People don't participate here with those. Most lemmy ppl only engage with politics
If you look at the most popular communities, 3/5 first ones are not politics.
Star wars memes, anime, and Linux don't count. Come on man -_-
I think you are looking at your local community list.
Uh no. I'm not on Lemmy world as my main instance. Our instance doesn't... like... have those communities. So..
huh, weird, my 5 top communities are: tech, news, lemmy shitpost, science memes, world news.
There's a ton of negativity on all news related communities including tech news. Even a lot of the memes are political.
Yea, but I would that the fast majority of the articles aren't negative. I agree that there is a lot of negativity on Lemmy, but that's something that a lot of people are more interested in. If you only want more positivity you should search communities that fit this, there are loads (more are ofcourse always welcome tho).
