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:

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.

When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?

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

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

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

Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?

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

Not yet. Ernest is still working on improving the UI, but honestly he probably has such a giant pile on his desk that we can't really tell when what will happen, or if something will be added at all unless he's currently working on it.

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

That explains why I've been seeing some people saying "magazine"

I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities

Vulcan is reading this from kbin.social

The federation is now active and hello!

https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

the link above doesn't work. any ideas?

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

Lemmy instances don't pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.

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

Had to try and it yep it is.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Glad to hear!

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.

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 1 year 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.

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

Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!

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

Can we please call it literally anything else? I'm tired of "verses".

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

Sure. Welcome to the federanus.

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

...which is now open for business!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I wanted to add [email protected] but nothing happens. Any idea why it may be? :(

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

@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 1 year 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
