The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
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: You may dislike, disagree with, or be tired of certain communities and don't want them in your feed.
The naming of this button is too rough, IMO. And it could have been placed in the dropdown menu for each post. kthnx.
On Jerboa it is and I'm extremely grateful for it. Blocked a bunch of lemmynsfw communities that I'd rather not see scrolling in public 😅
Hopefully comes to the web version soon.
finally, this should be stickied forever, the most important feature out there
Well, that's the exact community I block in my home feed
My client has a block community option right from the feed.
And yet what I really, really want is the ability to block instances… any idea if/when that is coming? I know it's a thing on Mastodon so it should be one here too, hopefully.
Does anyone know how to do this from the thunder app? I can't seem to figure it out. It's easy enough on jerboa but I can't see an option on thunder.
Some apps have it, some don't yet.
They're all still under heavy development I'm sure it will come eventually.
But if you block it on one app or the site, it should stay blocked on Thunder
I recommend lift off but it doesn't have gesture controls.
Thanks for this tip! Very helpful and def improved my experience.
This was me with all the communist memes
