!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.

It really depends, if they get lucky they might end up being raised in a country that has an easy path to citizenship for people who pass through the education system and learn the local language (for more niche languages this is especially true).
Anyways, there is a significant number of people who end up stateless and life is really fucking hard. You have no passport and to cross any border you need to manually apply for a visa with absolutely no guarantee of being able to return. Imagine if you went to Cancun for spring break and the US just said "No" when you tried to go home - all your shit is (pretty much) lost to you except what you have on your back and Mexico will eventually kick you out into a country with weaker border control. It absolutely fucking sucks and, while I appreciate that my life has been made significantly easier by being born in the US I think it's unethical that birth location has such a strong effect on our lives.
So, usually, those folks just become stateless and get lost in the cracks of bureaucracy. If you're not a citizen, and especially if you have an illegal status (that would be likely for such an orphan) you won't have access to healthcare or social services, you'd risk deportation if you're ever (even wrongfully) arrested. You're playing the world's most depressing game of roulette until you get noticed and lose everything.
It's for reasons like this that the anti-immigration crowd really fucking pisses me off.
Do they get citizenship ?, what happens to them ?
If the country has jus soli, yes they are citizens.
If the country only has jus sanguinis, well depends on the country. In some jus sanguinis countries, they might give citizenship to children born in the country, if they aren't eligible for any other citizenship. Otherwise, they might stuck in statelessness for a while.
I can't speak for other countries, but if this was China (where I was from). And the orphan looked Chinese (or at least one of the ethnic minorities of China), they might be given Chinese Citizenship after going through some bureaucracy, and the government would just assume the kid's parents are Chinese (and therefore get citizenship via jus sanguinis). If the orphan didn't look Chinese, they might just do a DNA test, then deport to which ever country the DNA say they're from. Its a homogenous society, they are not gonna let foreign children there.
I assume that other countries, if the country never had much immigration to begin with, and the kid does not look like the people of the country, its likely just deportation to whatever country they think the kid is from.
If its a immigration country, its either jus soli, or if jus sanguinis the orphan would just have to hope the country is accepting enough to just give citizenship.
Found this information for Japan that seems to imply that Japan will give citizenship if the parents are unknown and the child would be stateless otherwise but I just skimmed through it so I might have missed something
