We should probably call them communities because, well, that's what they are so we don't confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn't reddit

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.

Subreddits are called communities in Lemmy. Sublemmy sounds fun though
Yeah, after i submitted that post i saw a discussion about "sublemmies" versus "communities". Actually, i never thought of "sub-something" as a Reddit thing, but i guess it is. I think "communities" sounds better. I'll use it in future.
Sub-something is as much of Reddit as downvote/upvote, so pretty much nothing at all. I find people that argue that being a downside to be a little silly.
As someone still finding their way around here I'm loving all these YSK posts about navigating Lemmy. Thank you all...
Agree, somewhat confusing at first but it's coming together with time
Thank you. This is very helpful info to us newbies!
If your on a browser, you can also go to lemmy.world home page and scroll down a bit, on the right part of the page, below the box containing the description of the server, there's another box listing all the communities you're subscribed to.
you can also go to lemmy.world home page
The home page of whatever instance you made your account on.
Still trying to figure out what "local" means
I believe "local" refers to posts on the instance you're registered on, while "all" includes posts from federated instances
thank you. makes sense
