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.

This script transforms links from other instances to your home instance. So useful :)

As @MedicareForSome@lemmy.ml explained:

It makes it so that if you visit another instance using their URL, it will redirect you to your home version’s federated link.

E.g. if your home server is Lemmy.world, let’s say you find a link to Lemmy on another website but it’s a link to Lemmy.ml. If you click the link, you won’t be signed in.

So like: https://lemmy.ml/c/memes would redirect to https://lemmy.world/c/memes@lemmy.ml

This way you can seamlessly use Lemmy.

It does the same for posts.

Edit: since it works from any site, I highly recommend you to add it to your Android browser so it will work with webapp clients here's how:

You can use violentMonkey on ff browser too, but you need to unlock Dev options, then do this

Yeah, I just wish sopuli's webapp wouldn't crash on me immediately. It's just feels a bit different when not full screened ^^

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's weird, what browser do you have? I use Firefox for Android and everything is full screen and no crashes.

[–] XpeeN@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mull. Other instances' webapps works fine as I stated here. Maybe the admin editted something that broke it? Idk

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No website should ever crash a browser. It could be some weird things happening on sopuli.xyz but I would take this up with the browser developer, it looks more like a fault of the browser than the website, especially as everything works in other browsers.

[–] XpeeN@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems logical, but I tried it on few browsers (some isolated on my work account so cookies make no difference), all ff based though. All crashed only with sopuli, which I find really weird, because sopuli should be using the same software as anyone else. Maybe it's the webview itself? (Using Mulch wv, although I'm not sure if mull using it) that'll explain why it happens on both fennec and Mull, but not why only sopuli lol.

If we already talking, do you mind checking (on whatever browser you're using) if it crashes for you too?

Crashes for me, too:

While it's likely that sopuli changed something somewhere so that it fails, it's still a Firefox bug btw. There's just no reason it should crash.
