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.



Partnered Communities:

You may come across one you just might like. They change on a regular basis.

Edit for rule #2 - Trending communities show you new/active communities in the instance you are browsing from the instance's home page. Example: My account lives on lemmy.world, but if I visit lemm.ee I will be able to see that instance's newest and/or most active communities. Just another way to explore Lemmy and the fediverse from another noobie user learning things as I go along. :) Cheers!

Most of the time they are empty with no posts and just recently been created. Trending should only consider communities with greater than zero posts.

[–] Awa 12 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Maybe that's something the devs can update/fix later seeing it's not an urgent matter. Still, just another way to quickly find potential new communities. Cheers!

If you are using the web version of Lemmy, there should be a box in the upper part of the home page. Click the + to expand it.

Can you post a screenshot? I'm using the web (desktop) version and there's no such thing whatsoever.

[–] Awa 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Edit: found it! It's already open in the top right-hand side of the page on the instance home page.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, in the current instance. That makes sense I guess, I'm using a mostly private one. Was hoping there's a universal trending community overview.

[–] BendyLemmy 1 points 1 year ago

Ha, maybe it's only for Mobile... https://i.imgur.com/9XQhAzP.png Nothing here :(

[–] metic 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From what I’ve seen they’re not so much trending as new.

[–] Awa 3 points 1 year ago

I tend to instance hop as I am exploring Lemmy and I find them not as new or empty on less populated instances.

for kbin users, change your filter by time and keep it on hot ^^

[–] _MoveSwiftly 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you please add a "Why YSK:"? It's rule #2. :)

[–] Awa 2 points 1 year ago

Updated for compliance.

[–] koolkiwi 3 points 1 year ago

Apparently "Girls Pooping" is trending!

[–] Mpeach45 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How can you avoid seeing trending communities? They show up unbidden.

[–] Awa 1 points 1 year ago

Now that, I do not know
