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.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.



Partnered Communities:

You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

The whole posting and commenting culture is so much better here. I haven't had a single argument with anyone since I'm here and I'm a pretty active user.

[–] Noxvento 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wanted to argue with you, but had to agree with you. ;-)

Unrelated, but when you squeeze a tube of toothpaste, where do you squeeze it?

[–] Izzent 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Onto my lasagna for extra taste.

[–] Gullible 8 points 2 years ago

Whoa, that’s pretty neat, man. So you don’t have to brush after you eat it? I’m gonna save so much time tomorrow!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Found the true italian. Just like mom’s recipe (hand motion)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In my mouth.

No, I just put it on my toothbrush.

[–] Gullible 10 points 2 years ago

Check out Bezos here, boasting about his toothbrush and functional oral orifice. My father lived 80 years without his lower jaw and what, you think you’re better than him or something? People like you disgust me.

[–] 15liam20 7 points 2 years ago

In the bathroom.

[–] tjtherealbest 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I made a post about politics and got down voted liked crazy and they had to lock my post. There are small moments but it's being kept in check

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

There are topics that will make people turn against you in a second. People just don't talk about those. :)

[–] amirul 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me too, dude. Wanna start an argument?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't mind pineapple on Pizza.

[–] proctonaut 12 points 2 years ago

How dare you have an opinion I kind of agree with?

[–] amirul 6 points 2 years ago

Umm that’s cool. I like pineapples on pizza, too.

[–] lemminer 5 points 2 years ago

It’s one of the benefits of being a tiny fraction of a sliver of the size of reddit. It’s also something that would change if people actually migrate to lemmy.

[–] JoelJ 6 points 2 years ago

Sadly I fear you're right. It is nice while it lasts though, it takes me back to the early days of reddit

[–] gooddaytodayhere 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. It’s mad to me that two weeks ago I could sort by new and keep up (apart from NSFW). Now I can’t. Albeit my instance disappeared last night so I’m rebuilding again

I’m so annoyed because I spent the last few days blocking all sorts of communities.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This migration tool works quite well and includes importing blocked communities: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

[–] CMahaff 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for spreading the word 👍

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

No worries! I used it myself today with great success. Thanks for the awesome tool.

[–] kratoz29 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hopefully this isn't a definitive goodbye, but that's why I registered in two instances.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Probably is. Since the admin closed all the donation links too.

[–] Raildrake 4 points 2 years ago

Fellow refugee!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Crl 4 points 2 years ago

Nothing official yet, but the domain is parked and the donation links are closed.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Especially if you block the communities you are not interested in you can actually have a good experieicne.

[–] ngdev 16 points 2 years ago

Been hard-lurking (no account) here for a few weeks, made an account finally and this is my first comment. I was a hard lurker on Reddit too, but that was because most of the interactions I've had were... bad.

Definitely seems to be a gentler place, really enjoying the Summit app, it reminds me of Boost. I've got an unRAID server I was thinking about spinning up a Lemmy docker container on, but there's not a ton of info on this specific implementation, so I will likely wait for an unRAID community app to do that more easily.

Anyway, cheers from an ex-lurker!

[–] eleitl 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As long as you do it on your subscribed communities. With the volume going up time to become more focused: /c/technology noise level is getting too high.

i am honestly gonna kinda miss sorting things like /r/LPT by rising and new. The kind of things people would post would make me feel so much better about my intelligence level.

LPT: You should brush your teeth every day

1st comment: You should be using toothpaste!

Reply to 1st comment: The real LPT is always in the comments

Reply to reply to 1st comment: an essay about how their grandmother used to always brush her teeth everyday before tragically passing away

[–] EdibleFriend 6 points 2 years ago

and then the ones that DO take off annoy me so much as well. 99% of that subreddit is just 'if you slightly reword a sentence from now on it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE'

[–] seperis 8 points 2 years ago

Sweet Roko's Basilisk, so I wasn't missing some mysterious reddit setting where I 'new' was translated as 'wtf' and 'crap'?

It's a whole new world.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Well, pretty smooth once you ban all the damn furry content at least

[–] Django 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unrelated question, Can I join communities from other servers? or am I limited to lemmy.world communities only?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yes you can. Go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, set your home instance at the top of the page and then just search for what you are interested it.

[–] Django 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great! going to do this now, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

lots of great ones on slrpnk.net, just sayin'
