YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



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.

Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer 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.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. [email protected]

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] over the past few days.

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

  1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  2. now it's available at [email protected]
[–] Perdendosi 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url ([email protected]), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was doing the same thing! This is awesome. Thank you CodingAndCoffee!

kbin currently has a bug with the [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) syntax. Your link becomes https://kbin.social/c/[email protected], which isn't valid (should be https://kbin.social/m/Utah). It's a little weird because while the c/ part is what we'd expect if it was a Lemmy sub, it still shouldn't be repeating the domain. I'm sure that'll be fixed shortly, though. Maybe I'll go dig into the code myself.

At any rate, the @[email protected] syntax should work in kbin. I'm unclear if it works for Lemmy. Here's a link so you can try it: @Utah

EDIT: filed https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199

Other Fediverse systems use the syntax @[email protected].

Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, I am on lemmy.one and I go to search communities, and paste https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong?

[–] CodingAndCoffee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that's the correct way to do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hm, still nothing comes up if I search for the whole link.

But, if I search for just "RedditMigration", it shows up.
