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.

Simple Calendar Pro, Aegis, Feeder, and NewPipe are a few examples of open source apps available through F-Droid that allow you to easily export your data.

When you sporadically decide to back your stuff up it might be a good idea to include them with everything else.

You can also use these files to transfer data between apps. If you are using Feeder as an RSS reader on your phone you can transfer the OPML file to GFeeds on your computer.

Yeah, I love this feature being very common in Foss apps. It was one of the driving factors in moving over to Foss apps after I stopped rooting, since I was no longer able to reliably backup appdata anymore through titanium backup and swift backup.

Syncthing comes in nicely for syncing up those backups across different devices too.

Syncthing is a godsend.

I learned about it when I started using Obsidian, but now it's a great way to automatically move files around as necessary

My friend and I are even using it to work on Barotrauma subs together.

My big push was de-googling my phone (and being unaware of Aurora store at the time). It was frustrating not being able to easily use my 2FA codes and listen to my usual podcasts because Spotify wasn't available as a simple APK from the website.
