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:

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. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

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

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

What's the difference between kbin and Lemmy? I thought they were just different instances of the same open source project with different host names.

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

What's the easiest way to see and subscribe to kbin content while logged into lemmy.world? I have to know the name of the magazine I want and put the link in Search?

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

@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.

Nice to know that the community is growing.

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Yup. I'm on kbin and can see and interact with this lemmy thread just fine :)

So anyway to make the app Jerboa work with kbin?

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (11 children)

I'm replying to this on Jerboa right now, so I would assume there's a way, yeah.

I don't think so, currently. kbin has a fundamentally different backend AFAIK

When I click those links I can’t really interact with those post without logging in, which I can’t because I’m on Lemmy and kbin doesn’t know me. But when I find those posts in the wild I can. My brain overloades a little bit.

That's awesome! Looks like I joined at the perfect time. =)

I'm really curious what will eventually emerge from all these different approaches to the federatedverse.

[–] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Anyone else having major differences between kbin and lemmy for the same posts?

[–] niktemadur@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Gotta say that I like the Kbin GUI better. And let's see what features and options they come up with in the near future. And apps!
