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.

MODERATORS

If your RSS feeder doesn't allow you to filter out keywords (looking at Reeder on  Devices), this service allows you to exclude content.

I personally use it to remove ads, sponsored articles and articles about Trump/Elon. For podcasts, I used to remove both sponsored podcasts and episodes featuring the word trump or Elon.

If you find the service useful, the creator has a BuyMeACoffee Page here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siftrss

Super neat ! 🙌

Also, might just be me, but the

looking at Reeder on X devices.

The X for me is just a box with an X inside of it. Not sure what it's supposed to be there.

It's an Apple logo. It only exists on Apple devices. https://emojipedia.org/apple-logo

Probably better to use the generic red apple if you want to use an emoji: https://emojipedia.org/red-apple

Is this an X for you too? Because that would be funny (it's Twitter's logo).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Yeap, still the square box with an X inside of it.

I see a Chinese character I don't recognize, with the radical for fire in it.

On Apple devices, it will appear as the Apple Logo: You can have it change a term to it with the following link: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/type-apple-logo-mac-iphone-ipad/

Usually when I see things like that I assume it is supposed to be Apple. MacOS has the Apple logo embedded in system fonts and for some reason people just use it online as if everyone is on an Apple device.
