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
You know, it's surprisingly vague even in the official documentation.
Let's test it out. Create a post on your instance, and then make a comment on that post, and I'll go report them both as "testing" and we'll see if you get notified.
Link them here so I can find them.
Here's the comment, idk how to make the link instance agnostic though.
https://lemmy.cloudaf.site/comment/454587
Reports sent! ~~Also, put a '!' in front of the link, like !https://lemmy.cloudaf.site/comment/454587. buffer~~
Edit: oh, apparently you can't deep link like that. !https://lemmy.cloudaf.site will go to your instance, though, which is what I did.
Hm. Strikethrough isn't working? ~~or is it the link breaking things?~~
I got them, so looks like it does work as expected, my instance admin must just also get my reports. Kinda weird but if they go to the right place as well I'm not too concerned.
Edit: strikethrough is working on my end in the connect app.
Federation does make things more complicated, but I think it's worth the growing pains.
For sure.
Thanks for doing this, for the sake of 🧪 Lemmy Science 🔭
If you mark it resolved as a mod does it also resolve it as the admin or remove it from the admin q?
If you want to go to my test post and report a comment I'll let you know, I already resolved the other guys reports on the admin account.
Ok I was able to report through the link I commented. Thank you so much for checking for me!
No problem, resolving as mod resolves it for admin https://lemmy.cloudaf.site/pictrs/image/d330bb01-a4e1-4b00-bcca-d29accdc0049.jpeg
Thank you for the info! That's exactly what I wanted to know :)
Struggling with doing it without logging in so I'm commenting with what I think the link needs to be to work for me so I can click on it. !cloudaf@lemmy.cloudaf.site
To your edit:
It seems like the link was sucking in the strikethrough characters. If I had made a proper link [text](url) then it would have probably worked fine.
If you are on mlmym (old.lemmy.world), Strikethrough does not work. It works on the default UI https://lemmy.world/comment/1936920

You just described literally all of Lemmy's documentation.
I had to read the source code for Lemmy to find out what API endpoint to hit, how it worked, and what to expect on return for a script that I was writing. You need to do that for some documented API endpoints as well. Calling it "vague" is a nice way to put it.
I have no idea what reporting does. Not even if it is sent. I tried reporting some nudity content in a community, but it was broken en 2 apps, and took a very long time from the browser...
What do mean? On the standard lemmy site it should be the 3 dot menu, then the flag (aka, report) on any comment or post.
What took a long time for you?
Finding the report button wasn't hard. Sending it was. It took like 30 seconds+ of loading to send it.
Ohhhh... Well that might be an issue with your specific instance being unresponsive. The reports I just did, however, worked pretty much how you would expect, so it's not likely to be a lemmy-ui or backend bug.
