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.



Partnered Communities:

This site lists the communities on -shall not be named- that have either migrated or are also located on different sites. It also lists whether it is the official community or a spin off. A very helpful tool for those who have rid of -shall not be named- and have forgotten communities they once followed.

Excuse me, sub-what? ಠ_ಠ

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

are we at the 'shall not be named' phase?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We really shouldn't be. The more we say Reddit here the more likely the fediverse shows up in Google instead of reddit right? 😂

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

Good point!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

No but vocabulary, understanding things, can be important. Instance and communities are names of the tool.

No wonder why there is debate to block thread or no...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't mean to imply we couldn't say "Reddit," just to remind that Lemmy communities aren't called "subreddits."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think, in this case, OP was trying to say that the site could help you find Lemmy communities based on the rules and topics of a subreddit, as the site lists Threadiverse communities (Lemmy and Kbin) and servers in messaging apps such as Discord and the Matrix network under the names of subreddits, like [email protected] under r/196

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I meant this. Just thought it was easier vocabulary for those (including myself) who are brand new to the fediverse. In time it will change, but as of now I do still read communities as subreddits. 14 years there and only my 10th day here, but stoked to be here!

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

Ah, I understand, it's hard to get new terms into your system that quickly.

They have a name. They are called communities. A user subscribes to communities.

SubHatsuneMikus. You know, famed Minecraft developer, EDM composer, and wizard novel author?

~~I always thought of it as Sub Rehabitation, like changing where the sub lives, and .rehab would be the closest TLD for it.~~

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never knew about this, thanks for the YSK!

Lost track of a lot of subs in the process of jumping over here. This helps out a ton is finding those niche subreddits.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

If you know of a community somewhere in the Fediverse that serves a similar purpose or is an official replacement for a subreddit, you can and should post it as a suggestion to help people migrate!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Ah the good tool that mixed up star wars/star trek and privacy/piracy.
Totally not a random list of subreddits and similar communities with no relation between them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Suppose I go through that list and find something, how do I then subscribe to it? C&p of the link and searching for it in wefwef results in nothing.

And having to search for it all by myself doesn’t justify the name “good tool”.

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

You'll have to copy paste and come to Lemmy on your browser app, not on a Lemmy app and search for it under communities.

Patiently waiting for party parrot to make its way over

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

can i have multilemmy for multireddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Can’t get this to work in safari on iPhone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a way to view desktop site on safari? (I'm very unfamiliar with iOS)

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

Yes! Just tried that and with content blockers off. It’ll flash the webpage and then goes to the error. So weird. I’ll give this a go on a desktop or laptop.

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

This combined with wefwef importing Apollo data makes it really easy to find the communities again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this reminds me of redditlist and it looks great. fantastic job!! I'll buy you coffee for this

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why don't we call it a sublimy already?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because they're called communities

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

Fair enough.
