No Stupid Questions
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.

right, and I like fastmail, but that goes back to the problem in the OP, I have no interest in storage, email, notes, and contacts, I just want a calendar. In this case I'd be paying like like $30 a year for things I don't want. If fastmail had fastcal for $1 a month, I'd buy it.
You do realize you can use a service that provides a bunch of different things, but only use the calendar feature and ignore everything else, right?
You can also use a local calendar app. Just don't connect it to anything.
I use the default Gnome Calendar (because Linux), but Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android have calendar apps as well. Obviously.
That's what I'm doing now but I'd rather not pay for things I'm not using.
Do you expect to find a company that sells a calendar-only subscription? "Calendar - 49c/month"?
I've been looking at lot at all kinds of services and most start their pricing at around 5 USD/month. Regardless of how much actual features they actually provide.
I'd say your best bet is NextCloud. You can rent some, self host or use a free instance (there's a couple around).
Personally, I'm self-hosting stuff on a VPS. For whopping 5USD/month I'm getting things I'd be paying 50, if not mere, if they were offered as separate products by your average service-providing companies.
