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.

Imgur now blocks several VPNs and have issues loading embedded previews in several fediverse platforms. So instead of using imgur, you could use one of the following alternatives for uploading your images.

https://postimages.org/
https://imgbox.com/
https://imgbb.com/
https://www.imagebam.com/

Can somebody explain on the purpose of these sites?

The whole time when I was using reddit I would just upload from my gallery to the app, never had to use an image uploader website, it sounds like a pain to use.

Do any of them have an iOS app?

Imgur hates my guts anyways. They are based on easily ignitable populism and then its people wonders why everyone acts like they've burnt all their bridges.

How about for videos, OP? Any recommendations other than Streamable?

Is pixelfed a good option for this sort of stuff?

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

Before anyone mentions 0x0.st or ttm.sh as alternatives, both of them will delete your files within a year of being uploaded so do not use them for anything permanent.

I like that imgur removes exif data, any recommendations that do that too?

I took a look at a few posted and they don't appear to do so.

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

Yes! Thank you, this fixed my gif post earlier that wouldn’t load from Imgur. Imgbb worked fine for what it is.

How on earth do I keep my photos from rotating in all of these?

I take a picture on my phone in portrait. I upload it, it's rotated to landscape. I look at the EXIF, pic on my phone says it's rotated 90. If I delete that, it rotates to landscape. What do I need to do to keep it vertical?
