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.

Go to your uploads on your profile and delete anything you don't want. Very helpful in case you upload anything sentitive by mistake (I remember an issue on github about this).

Hopefully this update rolls out here on .world soon. I don't have any way to back this claim up, but I'll bet you a Lincoln penny I'm one of, if not the, most prolific posters of images on here. I'm positive I have several outdated images uploaded that are no longer used in any of my posts because I've updated them with something else. It'd be cool to be able to delete those, even if for no other reason than garnering the feel-goods about no longer wasting a bunch of ones and zeroes on the servers for nothing.

Unrelated, but that meme is 100% accurate

Is it true that everything I upload is hosted by the instance I’m on? I ask because that might mean that I should take care of not to upload NSFW even if it’s to an appropriate community on another instance.

Yes.

It's handled by pict-rs, an image hosting server than runs next to lemmy, which lemmy interacts with. When you upload an image on lemmy it goes to pict-rs, and you get a link to that image which is then used for the post or comment.

You can use any other image host that provides a direct image link, as well.

It also worth noting that most instances will host cached thumbnail copies of the images in all posts, regardless of what instance is the main host, or even if using an external host entirely.

Yes, although you could host it on any service you wish and manually use the link
