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.

Seems to be Ernest's attitude about that sort of thing, he doesn't like to hide things from the average user that someone more technically inclined would still be able to access
And I like it. It’s pretty earnest :)
Yeah I think it's great! I was on kbin originally but I'm a sucker for a nice app UI. I'll definitely be using it more once the apps are here.
I also can't find my lemm.ee community through kbin and I think it's some kind of federation issue, I'm sure it will get fixed.
Kbin and Lemmy are having huge federation issues at the moment, with stuff from Lemmy commonly having a multiple hour delay before showing on Kbin and sometimes it doesn't show up at all. It might be a bug so we'll see how it works when the next Lemmy version comes out.
Let's be fair, lemmy instances are having the same issues federating, especially getting posts from the big instances. I presume it's a server load thing.
Excuse my ignorance, still super new to Lemmy. What's kbin?
Kbin is another open source link aggregation program with a different developer that uses the same protocol as Lemmy (ActivityPub), so kbin and Lemmy instances can communicate with each other. If you see anyone with "@kbin.social" after their name then that's where they're from. You can check it out yourself here as well kbin.social
Spot on:

This is what I was thinking of! I'm still learning how to find things on the fediverse, did you use one of the search engines?
If you figure out a good way let me know! I knew I'd seen this post but to find it again ... well, I used Google to find a discussion on codeburg, and that had a link back to kbin!
