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.

Why do i see so many comments that are missing? Sometimes they are in threads that are getting heated and I could understand someone deleting a really bad take but other times it's in a shitpost like the example.

There is some record of this comment.

The evidence of its existence is disputed among comment historians. However, they are unanimous about one thing: if it existed, it was a stupid comment that should have been deleted immediately after it was written.

Some also claim this comment was edited, but the evidence for that is highly questionable, borderline fabricated.

This is what you see when you block someone

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Ohh, I thought it was what you see when someone blocks you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Problem is, can 100% confirm if you block em that is what ya see, not sure bout if they block you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing happens on the blocked user's end. On mbin I even still get PMs from them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm blocking a lot of communities (all sports related) but I'm not blocking any users or instances.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I also See these missing comments a lot ( almost in Every third discussion), but i did not block anyone so far. Also no instances. Is it possible that these are comments from instances my instance defederated?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Prob others that have blocked you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

They have 17 comments total, doesn't seem likely.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably something with federation running behind.

Like, you're instance A, one of those accounts is on instance B, and the ones you can't see are from instance C.

So A has an issue with C, but B doesn't.

So A (you) can see comments from A and B. But B can see comments from A,B, and C.

A doesn't see the C's, but knows B has replied.

It's also possible your app is the issue if not using web client.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That makes sense. I don't usually use the web client.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For example i cannot See the comment you answered to. From which instance is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know how to check but the comment is gone for me now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting. So it changed from visible to invisible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. This is weird. I can see your comment in my messages but if I go to the actual post it shows that there is a message but I can't expand it to see it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's from Lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

are you blocking someone, individually or instance?

either that or comments were purged, or account was deleted with content

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think I'm blocking anyone specifically. I might be blocking an instance. I'll have to look into that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

From unfederated instances or blocked users.
