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.

So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.

Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!

An iOS and android app would be helpful in making lemmy more accessible

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Lemmy already has a few apps for Android like Jerboa,Connect for Lemmy,and Liftoff. IOS has mlem and probably a few more. They're not yet as good as reddit TPAs but they're there and being actively developed.

I think it's kbin that needs an app rn as it's growing rapidly and the only app i know for it (Artemis) is still in alpha.

Apollo for Lemmy or kbin, made by the same dev, would be absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, I think he’s given up on social media apps entirely.

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

That sucks. I'm not on IOS but apl the feedback I heard from people is that Apollo is a great app.

[–] Dark_Blade 2 points 1 year ago

It was fantastic, and the only reason I was able to continue using Reddit.

Memmy for iOS feels a lot like Apollo so far and it’s getting at least 2-3 updates per day. It’s still in beta so you need to get it via TestFlight, but once it’s downloaded it feels just like any other app. To me, it has far outpaced Mlem even after just 23 days since its first beta release. Here’s the link once you’ve downloaded TestFlight: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy

Artemis is another one that’s in development and heavily influenced by Apollo (hence the name). I don’t think it’s available yet in beta but the preview images from a few days ago look promising.

This Beehaw post of useful links seems to maintain a list of apps and their development stages: https://beehaw.org/post/683217

Don't forget Thunder and Summit

[–] Draupnir 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m using Memmy, whose UI is inspired by Apollo. It’s not perfect, but functional and looks great! You can use it through TestFlight

[–] BigPapaE 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Memmy is my vote as well. It’s actually wild how quickly it’s come into shape

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

The developer is an absolute beast. Homie has been pushing 2 to 5 major features releases a day.

Folks at [email protected] are actually starting to get concerned and are telling him to take a break 😆

[–] Draupnir 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I’ve been noticing that! Almost daily I open the app and there’s a large change log. Whipping through it, dude probably does need a break lol.

[–] ak98 2 points 1 year ago

Memmy is so good! New features are being added so quickly it's like opening a present every day I open the app

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

Voyager is amazing, and works on both iOS and Android
