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.

I am a fan of Signal but mine has been broken for like six months now. Anyone else getting this bug? I try to open it and get an error 'Couldn't open Signal, send a bug report to troubleshoot' etc. I sent the bug report to the developer team at the address provided but they couldn't really figure it out. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling and all that to no avail.

Ran into the same kind of issue when I switched phones. Closest thing I could find to a solution since it seemed to have something to do with the size of my "backup" was to wipe everything and restart. sooo I just wiped everything and went to RCS

It's an iphone 8, almost six years old now, running iOS 16.4.1. I emailed the dev team at signal and corresponded a bit; basically they said they looked at it but can't spare the resources to do any real troubleshooting. Apparently it's a really small company which is fair enough. A new phone would probably fix the issue but I dropped a thousand bucks on this phone and I plan on using it until it dies or until I lose it, whichever comes first so..

I’m not sure it’s the phone. I’m using a 1st gen iPhone SE on 15.7.7 and it works fine. I’d suggest a factory reset but that is a lot of hassle or at least update to the latest iOS 16.5.1 and see if that helps.

Oh that's strange, I've been daily driving signal since a year now. I've grown to like it more and more with each update

Agreed. Works perfectly well for me too. If only I could convince more people I know to use it…
