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.

MODERATORS
 

The developer wrote a good post on Reddit, which I will mainly quote here:

10 second pitch: Libreddit is a portmanteau of "libre" (meaning freedom) and "Reddit". It is a private front-end like Invidious but for Reddit. Browse the coldest takes of r/unpopularopinion without being tracked.

πŸš€ Fast: written in Rust for blazing fast speeds and memory safety
☁️ Light: no JavaScript, no ads, no tracking, no bloat
πŸ•΅ Private: all requests are proxied through the server, including media
πŸ”’ Secure: strong Content Security Policy prevents browser requests to Reddit

How does Libreddit enhance my privacy?

Reddit tracks a lot of data but Libreddit logs nothing and uses no JavaScript by default so client-side monitoring isn't possible. There are 35 community-hosted instances that can be used to access Libreddit; one can spread their traffic across multiple for even more privacy. 7 of our instances are .onion hidden services so you can browse Libreddit using Tor.

Can I use it to login to Reddit?

Libreddit doesn't currently support logins but using cookies, users can subscribe to subreddits, follow users, and import their subscriptions from Reddit.

Does Libreddit have any features not offered by Reddit?

On top of the minimalist design, Libreddit is very customizable with:

  • 10 themes to choose from
  • A toggle to enable Wide UI (for those of you who like to maximize your screen space)
  • Filters so you can hide certain subreddits or users from your feeds

​

Instances: up-to-date table of instances -> https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit-instances/blob/master/instances.md

Not every instance is equally fast for you, similar to Lemmy. Try out a few.

For PC, I recommend the add-on LibRedirect, which automatically converts a Reddit link to a Libreddit link. This way, Reddit doesn't get any traffic from you, even if you want to access the page via a Google search.
