The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

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:

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.

Let everyone have their own content.

How? The client should only be talking to your home instance. Your home instance does all aggregation for you. Only Lemmy instances talk to each other and clients talk to one instance. That's how federation works.
Good to know, thank you for posting this. I'll keep this is mind to avoid any issues.
And to everyone else wondering why you would use company computers to browse the Internet instead of just using your phone, some jobs out there do not allow you to do so. My employer for instance, has banned using phones everywhere except for the break rooms and offices. We can still have our phones on us for emergencies and take phone calls, but otherwise we are not allowed to have them our. If we have to take a phone call we have to exit the work area and move to a nearby break room to do so. We have been specifically told (in writing) to use the computers instead when there is nothing to do. We have even been told YouTube is fine as long as there is no work. Because of that, I do a ton of personal web browsing on company computers since my job is so feast or famine so having information like this is helpful.
Yeah I was gonna say, don’t be browsing anything non work related directly on your work machine. I usually VPN to home then browse through RDP. If your work has screen monitoring software just browse from a personal device.
Yeah I get domain blocked popups sometimes while browsing at work. I mainly see that it's happening for lemmy.today.
