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.

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

@CodingAndCoffee So you're saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?

EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Hello mastodon user. I'm seeing this on kbin.social as part of a "lemmy.world" thread. On kbin we have magazines (like reddit's subreddits). This magazine is "youshouldknow@lemmy.world". Your post is showing up as a comment in this thread. I'm doing a comment reply/response to yours.

[–] Kalkaline@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

I see you from Lemmy.one

[–] ninjakitty7@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re on mastodon? I’m on kbin! Wow!

[–] darius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And I see both of your replies on lemmy, in the Jerboa app. What a time to be alive!

[–] Sergeant_Voronin@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.

[–] BendyLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can't log in.

The future is tomorrow.

I thought mastodon was a “twitter” like site… how would you be viewing Lemmy stuff?

[–] lilkev@mastodon.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It IS a Twitter-like site. It displays posts in more of a Twitter style. That being said - it is also part of the Fediverse, so theoretically you should be able to see all federated communities on any fediverse instance of your choosing.

Personally, I have a kbin.social account and a mastodon.social account. I'm doing this because Mastodon doesn't really present threads from kbin or lemmy in an easily digestable way, so I will use kbin as my reddit replacement, and Mastodon to replace Twitter.

[–] 31dirty1@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So if I had the mastodon app, is there anything I can do with that? Or what would you be signed into to reply back? (Ie) I’m signed into my lemmy.fmhy.ml account, where would I sign into mastodon… tho, I’d like to create another instance to use more like my previous Reddit account

[–] lilkev@mastodon.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you would have to sign up for a Mastodon instance to log on to the Mastodon app (I.e. Mastodon.social, mstdn.social, mstdn.es, etc). Similar to the fact that you're signed in to a Lemmy instance right now on lemmy.fmhy.com there are other Lemmy instances such as lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, Beehaw.org, etc.

Your Mastodon account would be completely separate from your Lemmy account.

Does that make sense? Not sure if I explained that we'll.

[–] 31dirty1@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It makes sense they are separate, but I’m just not following the part where you’d sign in the mastodon app… (when to me it acts like twitter)

I do have a mastodon account btw

[–] lilkev@mastodon.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Similarly, I can find your Lemmy.fmhy.ml account on Mastodon by searching for "31dirty1@lemmy.fmhy.ml"

[–] 31dirty1@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That makes more sense thank you!

[–] imach@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I see you from the Beehaw lemmy instance!
