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.

Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

Eh, I have accounts on both instances. I've appreciated the active moderation on some Beehaw communities - I'd rather discuss LGBTQ issues on Beehaw than other instances, for example. But I also like to see more content elsewhere, so I've got my Lemmy.world account too. It's pretty easy to account hop when using an app. It's reminds me of being a member of multiple hobbyist forums, in a way.

I'm still looking for an app that lets me browse using multiple accounts at once. I'd like to have a feed from Beehaw and Lemmy.World, for example. Defederation won't be a problem if I opt in to moving in and out of their walled garden

You can still subscribe to stuff on Beehaw from elsewhere it's just interaction with it is turned off for now. It would be nice if an app had a selector for what account to post/vote as on the fly though.

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

So the question is it turned off for the blocked instances or is it just not visible to Beehaw. If I make a post from Sh.itjustworks, can someone from Lemmyworld see it? Or can no one see it?

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

As far as I understand, Sh.itjustworks and Lemmy.World are communicating like normal right now. So users should be able to post to communities in each of those instances, comment, etc. unless that user is using a Beehaw login.

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

You can do dat with liftoff for lemmy. They have and everything "All" Section where all of your logged in instance in the app is combined into one feed.

Doing that on Jerboa right now. It's great!

I'd rather discuss LGBTQ issues on Beehaw

Sooo.. I'm nonbinary.. and I got banned from beehaw for talking about my ex pushing their daughter into LGBTQ.

So who gets to decide what issues are acceptable to talk about?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't speak to your personal experience in getting banned, but judging from your short comment history so far I wouldn't want you on my instance, either.

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

Yet here we are communicating 👋

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

Admins and moderators decide on behavioral standards for their instances, just as it has been for every discussion forum that has ever existed. I don't care to personally adjudicate your experience with Beehaw - I am simply sharing my own.

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

Sorry did you mean to respond to me? I don't really see how your comment applies to mine.

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

Seems like the system is working just fine!
