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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Nope.

Just kidding, good job!

Not only is it federating from you to lemmy.world, it's federating over the airways around the world!

You are federating but lemmy.world is bad at federating-out right now. So it's not a great place to test this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well, right now it has 3 comments on lemmy.world, 1 comment on my instance (discuss.tchncs.de), and 0 comments on fedia.io, so I guess not really.

It would appear so.

You tell me, do you see this comment?

Welcome to the Federation, and thanks for doing your part!

Hello from my kbin instance! 👋

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

how has it been, setting up a kbin instance btw? I've been trying to get mine fully working... Does lemmy federation work fully with you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some Lemmy instances don't federate correctly but most of them do. Be wary, it takes time - I thought it wasn't working for a bit.

The kbin matrix space is pretty helpful, if you have a matrix account.

Other considerations:

  • The MERCURE_JWT_SECRET .env needs to be 32 characters long (duh, but I wasn't thinking when I was setting passwords)
  • The .env file gives an example media subdomain as media.your.domain but it should actually be your.domain/media
  • Installing yarn might actually install something totally different. The docker instructions get around this using some custom repository in the instructions. We got around that a different way by installing the latest version of nodejs, npm, and installing yarn from npm. (We are using Ubuntu 22.04 so the experience might be different for you)
  • We are rapidly running out of space on our VPS and can't diagnose it. We know it's not the amount of media stored. The docker containers steadily increase in size until the instance hangs and we have to restart, but at this point restarting still consumes 80% of our 80GB of space so we have to diagnose this and fix it.

Regarding you last point, is it logs? I haven't tried to set up a personal instance yet but I have had trouble before with other services defaulting to debug mode for logging and generating reams and reams of useless space wasting logs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can see you posting from kbin.fbievan.live to lemmy.world from my account on aussie.zone.

I'm going to assume this is federated 😉

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this post is from fedia.io

It's federating tho

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And this is what I see. I'm not clicking through for your life story!

pretty funny, this was supposed to be a very simple federation test here. I notice that kbin has many issues depending on who is hosting it. (It's seriously a mess).

the link in this was just filler to remind myself

6 minutes!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a mess, all right.

At the moment I'm keeping a lot of posting local, stopped using beehaw due to federation losses.

I can see the potential though. Just waiting it out. Might even consider moving to kbin once it gets sorted as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yep... kbin on kbin instances seem to work (mostly) fine. Kbin with lemmy however seems to have quite a bit of issues.

Kbin is known to be more resource intensive I believe on a large scale than lemmy. (No sources here). Kbin is also written in PHP, but I have little qualms about that personally.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did read about the 500 errors and fedia moving to the development branch.

Fingers crossed, huh.

At least we are conversing and in some way, as advertised.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yep... fedia seems to be (somewhat) stable right now... moving my main account to fedia since my attempts are failing miserably.

I personally trust jerry as the admin here, so i'm happy to be here.

until kbin becomes much stabler, or that lemmy move away from github, and does a couple of other things.

My account stays here, and my own threadiverse servers stay a non-priority

I do have my own instances (main one being pleroma), and do have peertube, and also lemmy and kbin.

Pleroma is amazing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I joined Mastodon a while back but hated the lack of conversation on nontechnical issues. Even questions asked go unanswered so a discussion aggregation platform like lemmy/kbin I can see greater potential (like reddit was, but not as good as hyper-narrowly focused old school forums).

Sounds like you're right into it. Good luck.
