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.

Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

It's definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.

I'm used to Sync too, they're planning to launch a new version for Lemmy so we will have to wait

I'm currently using an app called thunder which has been great so far. Supports material you theming as well.

I'm curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it's been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.

Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.

But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.

I agree with the Android thing, I have Android as well but maybe I'm less conflicted because I used to have Apollo on iOS before? 🤷🏻 IDK but this app looks fine to my eye and I can stand the lack of Monet/Material You for it...
