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.

Why YSK: Because some people may want to use old reddit's interface and might be used to it's look. To choose the instance, put a /[instance name] after that url, or use the option given by the site itself

Whilst it's not as good a conversion as the one you posted, there's a violentmonkey script that does a pretty good job too

i want this for my personal instance.....

Cool.

Alternatively you can install this userscript which, among other things, also changes Lemmy's UI to something akin to old.reddit

Why not post the link? Bit confusing.

Head over here for a bunch of new features:

This looks really cool !

Although I would be a bit concerned login in this website instead of your instance.

How safe is it to log in to a lemmy instance through this? Seems like it could easily be used for phishing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That is both creepy and awesome at the same time!

When you said old.reddit interface I thought it'd be inspired by it, but wow, this IS old reddit! Feels very comfy to use, thanks for sharing

Seems like comments don't show up on it from the lemm.ee instance though

Dammit, you're right...

I think I've already grown attached to my customized Kbin look, because my first reaction was yuck. Pretty cool that someone went to all that effort, it looks like the real thing.

My first time visiting reddit, I thought the UI was so ugly.

My last time visiting reddit, I thought the UI is still so ugly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it only works with Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As opposed to...?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oof! This is legit!
