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.

You don't install piped or individious, they are websites you simply navigate too:

https://piped.video

Or you even can install a firefox extension to redirect all youtube links automatically for you. Here is one that has minimal permissions required:

I was talking about self hosting them which obviously requires installation

[–] ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, well when you spoke of convenience I thought it was less likely you had self-hosting in mind ;)

I just want to make sure people to know how easy it is to avoid youtube with the further prooliferation of their enshittification.

I use farside.link to go to available piped instance.

I just got the popup a couple of times but never any ads. I'm behind Pi-hole, running Firefox with arkenfox.js and uBlock

[–] OwlYaYeet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mine just started working out of nowhere. I went to YouTube on my chrome browser to find a video I wanted to watch so I can play in Firefox and it just played as normal 🤷🏾‍♂️

Currently using ungoogled-chromium with uBlock Origin, never encountered warnings and not logging in.
