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.

Upper note: This post is not about Lemmy. It's about this specific community :)

Why YSK: because if you're seeing this, you're probably subscribed to it :) we need more posts & activity if you want to keep it alive and thriving! It's been dead in the last 2 days.

Please follow our rules(which are very few) if you decide to support & create activity. And please don't hurry. We don't want the main page to be sick of us, do we? Haha.

edit: Thanks to everyone sharing their opinions as to why this might be & helping create activity! I did not expect this to pick up so fast haha. As always, your suggestions and opinions matter.

edit 2: As the level of activity on this post and the immediate boost of activity caused by it was unexpected, it will be locked in hopes to prevent flooding the site. Again, thanks to everyone for helping our community and sharing your opinions. You are loved!

edit 3: thrice the amount of content in a day. this post worked innit? ;)

I really don't want to see forced content, quality over quantity

hard agree. no need to flood the site with unneeded memes and just posts "for the sake of it"

speaking of which, this very comment of mine is rather superfluous lol
