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.



Partnered Communities:

You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

Now I'm curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

Any help? I've joined a magazine from lemmy and nothing shows up, but I have a kbin account too and know there's posts I'm not seeing.

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz

According to your server's nodeinfo there's only 462 users active this month.

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know if that's bad or good. Is there a way to fix it?

@serfraser @youshouldknow What's happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone's comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Mobile, using Lemmy site to view a kbin Magazine that appears empty and says "no posts" but when I check on kbin I can see that's not true

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/

Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it's starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms' content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.

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

Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried !politics@kbin.social and !opensource@kbin.social a few time the last few minutes but still no result.

@CodingAndCoffee So you're saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?

EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅

What's the difference between kbin and Lemmy? I thought they were just different instances of the same open source project with different host names.

So anyway to make the app Jerboa work with kbin?

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm replying to this on Jerboa right now, so I would assume there's a way, yeah.

hello. can confirm. I'm on kbin.social right now and seeing this thread. I'm not sure federating is entirely up just yet but it's working a lot better/faster than it was these past few days. Definitely seeing an influx of beehaw and lemmy world users and posts :)

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, beehaw has decided that they don't like this whole "federation" thing. Hopefully we'll see replacements for their communities in the coming days.

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/Utah@kbin.social), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  2. now it's available at !Utah@kbin.social
[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?
