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.

So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.

Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!

How does someone search Google?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Using a browser, navigate to the following URL: www.google.com

In the search bar, type the query you would like to make and hit ENTER

Then you're done!

Don't forget to add lemmy on the end and replace the url with your instance or have a browser extension that does it automatically for you

You forgot the step where you have to scrolls to at least 2 pages of ads disguised as results

Step 0: install an Adblock like UBlock Origin on your browser.

How do I install an adblock?

Everyone misunderstood his question.

He didn't ask how one searches IN Google. He asked how do they search Google, the entity. He clearly means to ransack the HQ in California.

D: demonstrate interest in a topic by communicating it clearly around your phone.

E: engage with ads in the same vien as the question you're looking for.

N: NEVER use an AdBlock. This throws off the algorithm as it can't track how long you take before scrolling past an ad.

N: News. what news do you engage with? Contrary to expected behavior, google actually spends more resources trying to sway dissent from their opinion more than it rewards its supporters! Talk about breaking up monopolies, talk about tax havens, or even bing.

I: Invest wisely. Have money in the bank. They'll know. The more money you have the bigger fish you are in the pond. The more they'll target you.

S: Search. Go to google.com, they have a bar you can type in. Put in your question, hit search, and if you follow these steps, you'll get what you were looking for.
