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
i hope not. people should invest little but more effort and thought into creating post for other people than they do into creating their personal bookmarks.
I agree. many times I see communities that the only activity is link posting. not even comments.
i kinda understand that to be the case somewhere, starting new community is not easy.
i was thinking more about posts where you have some headline, no picture, the post's body is "click here to prove you are not a bot", and the poster didn't care enough to fix that.
I think the "prove you are not a bot" and the preview picture (if any) are often automatically-added. It gets complicated, bc the picture (for example) MAY be added by the posting software and/or the server, and the picture may or may not propagate. Whether or not this happens depends on the version (of posting software and server), how it was configured, and where it is hosted. Sometimes, the preview will not be generated because the content being previewed will disallow this -- for example, youtube previews on !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee used to be automatically generated, but I think youtube changed something so that doesn't happen any more. Furthermore, the reading client will sometimes generate preview pictures anyway. CAVEAT: I only partially understand all this.
Summary: preview generation on the fediverse is a complex issue.
and when any of what you said happens, you go and manually edit it. that is the effort i am talking about.
Same, I am not a fan of a post being only some link. Bring some of your perspective into it, even if its just 2 sentences.
Sometimes all thats relevant is the link, or the commentary would be more appropriate as a comment. For example, posting a news article to a news community or a set of patchnotes to a game's community. At least personally, thats the majority of what I want to see: a post with a bunch of fairly direct information, and discussion of its implications in the comments.
