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.

Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)...

What you see via the UI isn't "all that exists". Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see "under the hood". Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won't normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

Edit: Obligatory RIP my inbox.

Can we leave this kinda stuff behind? It is NOT obligatory.

I’m going to start throwing “edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!” on the end of my comments just to induce some nostalgic cringe.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are a gentleman and a scholar. /s

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a pretty common turn-of-phrase in Ireland, I remember hearing it in the early 90s!, and it's still common to hear it from older generations too. I wouldn't equate it with reddit slang/culture at all. I wonder when it made its way to reddit?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That's wildly interesting because it's heavily associated with neckbeard incels (tips fedora) on Reddit because there was a time when it was overused and comparatively fancy for the average yankey american vocal style. It was also often accompanied with "Edit: thabks for the gold, kind stranger!" Thinking around 2011-2013?

edit: my most upvoted comment is about beans.

Now that's a big lemmy moment

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How many if you gsa's are there?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll be there to link /c/AwardSpeeches or whatever that sub was called.

Redditisms are cringe and always have been. Yes I agree we should leave them behind.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I disagree. Redditsms, or whatever you call them, among other things helped to make reddit as popular as it is (was) right now.

I get you don't like it personally, but your personal opinion about them being cringe, while respectable, is not a fact.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with both of you. We should leave redditisms behind and create lemmyisms. And yes, they get cringe if overused

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

Possibly relatedly, is this a good place to mention beans? I have not figured out where that meme actually came from, but apparently it’s a thing the cool kids are saying.

The narwhal bacons at midnight!

There were T-shirts?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes all the bad Reddit jokes and unoriginal lame attempts at garnering upvotes eg making a stupid joke out of a typo (generally unfunny, rare exceptions), I also choose this guy’s wife, take my upvote you bastard, anything along the lines of wow I hate you for making a pun, I’m not crying you are, I feel personally attacked and god knows the list goes on and on

Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Of those 'jokes' you listed, "I also choose this guy's wife" will never be not funny

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I also choose this joke's wife.

if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way

I think nit picking each others speech is the true cringe redditism

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

This.

EDIT: Thanks for the awards kind stranger!

EDIT 2: Rip my inbox

This is all examples of reddit shit that is really dumb. We don't need to bring it over here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

But it's fun tho...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Besides that. A "disable inbox notification" option is not available yet, is it?
