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.

Man, I can't stress how much I appreciate voyager after surfing reddit on Apollo for years.

Now I just need to find more active communities and I'm Golden. Fuck u/spez.

Which topics are you interested in?

There is a weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world where people promote their communities.

Thanks, updated!

Mandatory "oh, it's you again" :D

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

"oh, it's you again"

xD

[–] jeffreyosborne@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would like to point out that Mlem also has keyword filtering!

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks, updated!

I looked for keyword blocking on the web interface a while back and didn’t find anything. I still don’t see anything but maybe that’s because I’m on mobile. I’ll try desktop later and report back.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can’t tell on mobile. I’ve checked under both profile and settings. I only see them choices as opposed to interface choices.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow, thank you! I'm a bit lost but I do see the option in the settings to block words 🙏

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Happy to help, feel free if you have other questions!

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

YSK Federal Law prohibits the filtering of the word "crumbgrabber".

I was about to ask for proof then I read your username...

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Dammit! I was just about to do that, but it's illegal!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago
[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure about Boost, I assume it's an option since it was was an established Reddit app, but it any user can confirm?

[–] ahornsirup@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, it can.

[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Arctic has keyword filtering.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 2 months ago

Thumbs up for Thunder. 👍

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there any way to not view or collapse posts that are rated below a certain threshold? I'm not sure how the collapse/show logic works in Lemmy.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Hum, that might be app / interface specific.

[–] RangerJosie@sffa.community 1 points 2 months ago

How do I change my avatar on Connect?

[–] aaaaace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Do any Android apps also have pinch to zoom? I like Eternity, nut frequently need to enlarge things, text size in screenshots, maps, etc.

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

nut frequently

Definitely made me do a double take there.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Good question, not sure to be honest. Maybe ask on !lemmyapps@lemmy.world ? People are usually quite helpful for this kind of questions
