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.

Been using it today and so far so good. Looking forward to improvements with the commenting UI and some more sort options like Top Day from the ‘official’ Lemmy web client.

Edit: would be good to be able to edit stuff too.

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

It's incredibly fast as well. Beautiful UI

This is honestly amazing and I cannot believe this hasn’t blown up yet. It is so close to the Apollo experience that I now have zero reason to stay on Reddit.

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

As a total noob, I wasn't able to install it from github. (Which might be the reason for the app not blowing up.) Any advice for dummies?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I don't think you install anything, it's a website. Try using this link: https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all

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

You don’t need to install from GitHub, you can use the one already setup by the developer at https://wefwef.app

The installation instructions on the GitHub is for hosting it on your own server if you want to go that route, but isn’t necessary.

Thank you! I just tried it and my Lemmy experience is so much better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yep its really impressive for such an early project.

Having said that I can't work out how to edit comments/posts I have made.

It would also be nice to have a preview of your comment too.

Hopefully they add that at some point.

Arrived here from r/apolloapp and I’m pleasantly surprised! Perfect timing. I will miss Apollo as it shuts down tomorrow. Here’s hoping we have some good communities on Lemmy.

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

Holy shit. I’m always shocked when PWAs are this good.

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

Holy shit this is a beautiful app. Been trying it out today and had a moment of “when did I reinstall Apollo?”

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

How do you get it on Android?

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

It's web-based, so you log into the site with your Lemmy credentials then click the menu button in your web browser and hit install. Info at https://wefwef.app/settings/install

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

Check out liftoff, I use it over jerboa. With the right settings it feels like I'm using rif again

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

Been using it today and it's been pretty good. Only bug is sometimes when I come back out of a post to the main feed, the feed becomes frozen. Need to click one of the menu buttons and return to the feed to get it working again.

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

Currently using this. The experience is quite smooth so far despite not loading posts at times. Seems to be a good alternative to browsing lemmy through Safari.

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

This is incredible. But UI is ios inspired. Seems out of place in Android.

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

Yes, very disorienting

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

Also by far my favorite client. Just wish I could make the text bigger for my aging eyes…

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

You can! Just to to Settings - Appearance

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

I like it, but it's got the same problem as Thunder. I can't sort by top!

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

Haven’t figured out why I can’t search nsfw communities. For science of course

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

My errr… friend, was also asking about this.
