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: Google returns reddit results very often when searching, which many of us want to avoid clicking, to avoid sending traffic to reddit.

I’ve seen many posts on how to avoid sending traffic to reddit for android users, but nothing for iOS.

Now, most of the options I’ve found are not free, but I had already bought StopTheMadness before. You can simply add a rule to redirect reddit.com to teddit.net. Then, you can still click those google results without hesitation.

It should be noted this won’t work system wide in safari web view, only in the safari app.

I'm not aware, how would you do that for android?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not sure about android specifically but for Firefox desktop, Privacy redirect is useful: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/

privacy redirect on chrome based browsers lets you do the same for a number of different services too. Really nice to help enforce staying away from our big tech overlords.

Unfortunately chrome on iOS doesn’t have that function, but it’s good news for other users.

[–] akoen 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any other app recommendations for iOS? Came across this but not sure about privacy.

According to the App Store page, no data is collected by the developer. It all runs on your device only I would assume.

That’s also what I was looking to buy before I realised I already had something which worked.

Libredirect does a similar thing on Firefox desktop. I use it to redirect all Reddit links to my locally hosted libreddit and YouTube redirects to random invidious instances so that it’s different every time.
