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.

In my experience, changing location changes results. The site will still have an American flair to it, but it had a different group of results when I traveled. I confirmed it later with a VPN. You would think some specific searches would always give the same results but, unfortunately, this is one of the sites that chooses to show related content (to create an illusion of overwhelmingly vast content while snowballing highly-rated content) instead of a more functional search for your exact request. I will also note that language didn't have much to do with it. I'm guessing tags are translated so using a foreign word still brings you to the same category. Testing a mix of my language, their language, and adding nationalities to the search did not affect results nearly as much as being in the country (or setting my VPN there).

So while I don't think it's smart enough to look for an accent, I do expect the content to have more with the accent from local creators delivered in searches by way of regional preference over time.

That makes sense. It would also obviously depend on how much porn there is that exists with people who have that accent (or language). The ratio of Australian-made porn to American-made porn might be like comparing a peanut to an elephant. I admit I can't really remember encountering much Australian-accent porn here in the U.S.
