You Should Know
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.

That's cool , Thanks for sharing
Does anyone have any good recommendations of channels that have good historical, factual analysis, or documentary content? Not really interested in super professional production either.
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I suppose it should be obvious really but my fediverse training continues
Works on lemmy. Thanks!
Just tested it and it also works with mastodon and pixelfed, but I don't see any posts. I'm wondering if it just takes time to cache.
Yes, they way activity pub works it will only pull over new content after the moment the instance you're on becomes aware of the instance and community/user you're pulling from.
I'm assuming that in these "communities" only the channel upload can submit content to them?
I ran a test with my own channel on Peertube, lemmy, and my soapbox instance. I subscribed to my peertube channel with the lemmy and soapbox accounts, and then posted a message using lemmy. The message posted successfully, but did not appear on peertube or soapbox, but when I viewed the community using another lemmy account on the same lemmy instance I did see the posts. Next, I tried mentioning the peertube channel using soapbox. I knew that post would survive on that instance, but it also didn't show up on peertube or lemmy.
My conclusion is that if you make a post on a community using lemmy, it will survive on the instance you're on, but it will not be sent to the peertube instance and will not be federated to any other followers.
I assume so. I'll have to run some tests on a peertube channel on my own instance.
It works on Kbin. Just put this into search: [email protected]
I love how Ernest is the owner of every single external account/community. I'll miss that lil' bug once it's fixed.
That took me a bit to figure out- me being the suspicious type and new to fedi, I needed to investigate. So a bug prompted me to learn something about how this place functions.
and every single domain for self posts is your local kbin instance. It's a little silly, but rather fun in its own way.
It does not work on /kbin ATM.
Example: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] shows nothing even when originating instance shows 20+ videos published on the channel.
Tilvids doesn't federate like other peertube instances, which can be an issue. I don't know how federation with mastodon and Lemmy are, but peertube doesn't federate with it. (If tilvids does federate with Lemmy that'd be amazing because there's some great content but I'm not going to specifically visit the site... I'm going to give that a shot!)
Another thing is that most of the time federation starts with the time you subscribe for the first time on an instance. The peertube channel I subscribed to has 3 videos on my Lemmy instance but hundreds on the parent instance. This is normal behavior for activitypub. It's unusual the way Lemmy (and presumably kbin) pull the history of communities the way they do. I suspect there's something going on to achieve that which may not happen with every kind of community.
Yes, I noticed that. I heard something about searching individual posts so they can populate the server where you're on. But I know nothing more.
that's unexpected. I was under the impression that Peertube didn't use ActivityPub, so while it can Federate with other Peertube-like sites, sites running Lemmy would be out of the question.

"I continue to believe that limiting the federation aspect of TILvids is important to how the community will grow."
I'm disappointed about it because tilvids is a great site, but as far as I can tell it's just another isolated video site.
PeerTube compatibility does not work yet on /kbin, but is planned.
Very useful!
Good find, but what's weird is that the channel shows in search, but searching for the actual peertube instance where I found the community e.g. antopie.org returns nothing :/
Sounds crazy and interesting. Although, isn't it better to have separate things for separate type of content (videos, toots, posts) instead of mixing it all together?
I run all the different services because I generally agree with you, but there's value in being able to choose how to interact with everything. some people really want to have new videos show up in their lemmy feed or their mastodon feed. If that's how they want to do it, they're right. Same with interacting with lemmy from mastodon -- If that's what you want to do, then you're right and it's a win for you if you can do it that way.
