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
Communities/magazines are similar to subreddits, but unlike subreddits they can be hosted on servers run by unrelated organizations and still interact. Different instances can and do have different ideas about how things should be run but you can still send messages back and forth unless the admins have blocked it.
The first message is warning you that you're looking at a community that is not local to your instance. You might not be able to see all the posts from that community on your instance. For example, there may be older posts that never got copied over from long before your instance first found out that that community exists.
If I understand mbin's code correctly, the second message means that no one is subscribed to the community locally, so your instance isn't getting updated by the remote source any more. You need to have at least one local subscriber to get updates. If you're interested in the community, subscribe to it.
I think this is the code that produces those messages if anyone wants to dig into it further: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/templates/magazine/_federated_info.html.twig
The definitions for the message strings (in English) are here: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/translations/messages.en.yaml
I see. I saw this mentioned before when I was researching on the threadiverse again recently (is that term still in use lol). It's no biggie, if that means I can help bring it up to date on that instance, I'm happy to do it.
Thanks!
