You Should Know
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.

@ono It is, though. You may not be accessing it through Mastodon, but this is a Mastodon post, originally from a Mastodon instance. Look at OP's username without the @: DannyBoy@mastodon.ie
EDIT: The Fediverse is kinda weird. Here's OP's post from Mastodon: https://mastodon.ie/@DannyBoy/110752993994124069
Here's the thread you may be seeing on Lemmy: https://lemmy.ca/post/1829131
You can also see both your and my comments on both pages.
They're interoperable to an extent, so depending on what platform you're viewing the content from, the same post and replies may be formatted differently for you than how it was originally submitted.
@youshouldknow @DannyBoy
OP clearly specified "When making posts on Lemmy/Kbin". That is the context for this conversation.
@ono Right, that's the thing though, these platforms are all the same network. The data sent from Lemmy is readable on Mastodon, and vise versa. There really isn't any actual separation between the two platforms, outside of the UI you choose to use. Lemmy posts are technically all on Mastodon to begin with. Ultimately, platforms like Pixelfed and Calckey/FireFish are also part of the same overall network, which is why the content posted to any of these platforms is so cross-compatible to begin with.
I think the main difference is with Kbin, which blends Lemmy and Mastodon feeds into one platform, and by default allows you to tag your Lemmy-formatted content with Mastodon-compatible hashtags, which makes those Lemmy threads more visible to Mastodon users, since I don't think Lemmy has hashtag support by default.
It's more of a "big picture" thing, IMO. The Fediverse is largely all just the same network, but with various different UI endpoints.
@youshouldknow @DannyBoy
@Chozo @youshouldknow @ono Again, thanks!
Looks like here you're the only one that understands how the fediverse works.
Everyone is like a butthurt about it. They don't get that more shared information means more people that has access to it.
