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.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.



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.

For inquiry on becoming a moderator of this community, you may comment on the pinned post of the time, or simply shoot a message to the current moderators.

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. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

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

[–] livus@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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!

[–] bbtai@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] BreadDog@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure. Welcome to the federanus.

[–] niktemadur@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

...which is now open for business!

[–] ElSapo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/Aquariums@kbin.social and https://lemmy.world/c/houseplants@kbin.social ). It did work but I'm unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social ) 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.

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

[–] nighthawk@aus.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] rjc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] CodingAndCoffee@mastodon.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯

[–] AshDene@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.

[–] lilkev@mastodon.social 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

@CodingAndCoffee So you're saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?

EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅

[–] Sergeant_Voronin@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.

[–] BendyLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can't log in.

The future is tomorrow.

[–] Perdendosi@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/Utah@kbin.social), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  2. now it's available at !Utah@kbin.social
[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried !politics@kbin.social and !opensource@kbin.social a few time the last few minutes but still no result.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine@instance format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I've been able to add them that way.

[–] catagris@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So anyway to make the app Jerboa work with kbin?

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm replying to this on Jerboa right now, so I would assume there's a way, yeah.

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

But you're using a Lemmy account to post, I'm confused...?

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Wait

Ah, I've misinterpreted, I first saw this post on kbin, but it's a Lemmy post, so of course I can see it on Lemmy.

In that case I dunno. Will kbin posts be viewable on Lemmy, since the reverse is now possible?

Update: I seem to have found a way to view AskKbin on Lemmy/Jerboa, though only a few posts are actually showing up. Is this even intended behavior?

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

AFAIK posts only sync from the moment the first person on your instance subscribes

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it's goofy but it works.

[–] dudeami0@lemmy.dudeami.win 1 points 2 years ago

Neither seems to work for me, maybe federation is overloaded with the sudden influx? I'll report back if it ends up working.

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hello. can confirm. I'm on kbin.social right now and seeing this thread. I'm not sure federating is entirely up just yet but it's working a lot better/faster than it was these past few days. Definitely seeing an influx of beehaw and lemmy world users and posts :)

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, beehaw has decided that they don't like this whole "federation" thing. Hopefully we'll see replacements for their communities in the coming days.

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kbin users weren't defederated from them so we can still see and post in their communities.

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years 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!

[–] AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] ewe@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years 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.

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Glad to hear!

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz

According to your server's nodeinfo there's only 462 users active this month.

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know if that's bad or good. Is there a way to fix it?
