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.

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.

Our icon(masterpiece) was made by @clen15!
For example, on my profile picture. Find them on Coolbuddy or some other site and save as a webp.
You can also just download any GIF and convert it into WebP using an online converter like this. Then you can set that converted WebP as your profile picture.
Hah! Neat. Thanks for the tip!
Nice Tip , where can I find these endless looping gifs?
It's not from a specific place. It was an old GIF I knew and I searched for it. You could search "[something] perfect loop gif" or similar in a search engine.
Hell yea Brother!!
Thanks for the tip!
I'll be honest, it's a tie between which is the most annoying "feature" of this platform; animated profile icons, or unicode user display names.
I look forward to having a settings toggle for both, but in the meantime all of my userstyle themes disable profile icons.

Yeah! DAMN those people with names not in the Latin alphabet! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL! How dare they not have real names written in a real alphabet!

...and this:
I'm pretty sure I saw the speculater guy multiple times before
Ha... I use Voyager and had -no clue- that Lemmy supported either one of these features (previously wef wef). Maybe turn it off in your client, or use Voyager?
There are people here not immediately turning profile pictures off?
I have been using apps that dont have profile pictures on them, so forgot all about them lol
