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.

I'm the same. I also block individuals who post the same thing in like 6 different subs. Yes those posts can tech ically belong in 6 different subs, but if I see more then 2 I just don't care and it's instant block from me.

Unlike subs where there's one centralized "Technology" sub for example, here they're spread out. There are at least 3 large and active "Technology" communities and so cross-posting to all is necessary. It's the equivalent to posting to the single "Technology" sub on the shit site. Therefore multi-communitu cross-posting is the norm here.

I get why it's done, just bothers me seeing the same thing like 4 times all back to back so I block em.

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

You know a website is making it when there's pussy, and pussy. We need more balance on the pussies tho.

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

Absolutely. First thing I did when I discovered how to block communities. And I like cats too.

I'm not sure you're allowed to do that.
