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.

I am asking for someone to see how many people from various online forums visit their website via redirects. In their analytics application, they do not see anything from Lemmy, so I am wondering if there might be another name Lemmy may go by that it could appear as on the list/page? Or has just no one visited their site from Lemmy?

Make a post, insert a link to a webserver you have log access to, click the link, look at the log, report back.

You probably don't even need to post it if you do it in a browser. Start replying to a comment and put in a link, hit the preview button, click link.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the referrer (Referer) information is just the URL, and most browsers would only send the hostname if it's a link to an external site.

So the analytics software would only have access to the domain like "lemmy.world". It wouldn't be cohesive, as in unless the analytics provider had done a lot of work to support lemmy, it's not going to group all the different lemmy sites into one category. You'll see Beehaw.org and Lemmy.world as separate entries.

My guess is no one has visited from Lemmy. People don't tend to share links to company websites on Lemmy.

Depends. Could be links on Lemmy have the rel="noreferrer" attribute set. (Can't check, im online from mobile)

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not set.

rel="noopener nofollow"

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But I guess each app would also have their own implementation.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, referer is from the UI so different frontends and apps would control it themselves.
