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.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.



Partnered Communities:

You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. [email protected]

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] over the past few days.

That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?

For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!

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

Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying "something something fellow Beehaw users!" and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.

OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!

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

I didn't expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!

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

Now I'm curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

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

@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it's weird that the existing comments don't show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ). It did work but I'm unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn't say pending, it correctly says "joined" but still no posts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

@CodingAndCoffee So you're saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?

EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅

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

Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.

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

Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can't log in.

The future is tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried [email protected] and [email protected] a few time the last few minutes but still no result.

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

I haven't been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine@instance format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I've been able to add them that way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like [email protected] it just never resolves. :-/

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it's goofy but it works.

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

Neither seems to work for me, maybe federation is overloaded with the sudden influx? I'll report back if it ends up working.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  2. now it's available at [email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it'll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.

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

Glad to hear!

How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't speak to Lemmy's implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers "politics"), but there's nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.

Loading threads here is... different... work than loading your feed in mastodon, it's possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you're just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate on the 'politics'?

I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded 'hate speech' filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

Anything else I should know about ?

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

The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories... unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057

And that they haven't been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging "right wingers" (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly "left wing" (though I don't see a reference to that on the current site).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any help? I've joined a magazine from lemmy and nothing shows up, but I have a kbin account too and know there's posts I'm not seeing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz

According to your server's nodeinfo there's only 462 users active this month.

@serfraser @youshouldknow What's happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone's comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?

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

Mobile, using Lemmy site to view a kbin Magazine that appears empty and says "no posts" but when I check on kbin I can see that's not true
