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.

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.

does it work the other way arround? to use Lemmy from Kbin?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup. I'm on kbin and can see and interact with this lemmy thread just fine :)

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

is better over there?

would you recommend it?

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

I haven't really used lemmy but it didn't appeal to me. kbin feels more familiar to me (as it's very similar to how reddit works). kbin is super cozy, so I'd recommend it.

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

I mean, if having trouble seeing Lemmy stuff rn.

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

since you're on lemmy.world you should see all lemmy.world stuff easily. here on kbin we've been having some federation issues in the past and i'm not sure everything is 100% synced yet but I've definitely run into missing posts here and there.

Ironically, kbin's federation problems seem to surround other kbin instances lol. I think fedia.io broke their federation. There's not really a lot of kbin instances tbh. It's mostly just here on kbin.social.

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

I see, do you think in the upcoming weeks thing will get better?

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

Yes. For kbinauts it's already getting better. My first few days here we had basically no federation at all, and now it's working fairly reliably.

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

and what's the best kbin instance? kbin social?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup. Kbin.social is the main instance and is really the only one worth considering at this point imo.

Fedia.io is good also. Having some federation issues right now I think, but the load of the server is nearly 100%. The admin will be obtaining more servers, 5 “ Hetzner EX101 Intel i9 13k with 64GB of DDR5 ECC memory and a raid 1 nvme v4 SSD” which will share the load. Hopefully that’ll resolve the issues soon :)
