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.

Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you're commenting from kbin. That's so cool!
Oh, i actually didn't know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn't see Kbin. Ie it's like it was a partial federation.
I'm curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i'm a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i'm quite interested in it. Though i've not yet used the spec, clearly hah.
It was disabled until mere hours ago!
So does that mean I can see kbin posts in lemmy.world? I’m using the mlem app on IOS btw
It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.
Hmm, surely there must be a way to whitelist other instances you want to federate with so they don't get blocked by cloudflare....
I'm sure you can do that in cloudflare but it'd require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin's end, which is a bit much.
It's super cool! My mind is now blown!
Wow this is neat!
How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn't apparent that it's federated content.
If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee And now I'm replying to it from Mastodon!
@pieceofthepie@social.n8e.dev @livus@kbin.social @CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world Oh good, it's working again! I'm commenting from Calckey.
wow interesting. Mastadon has a decent app in place too doesn't it? That might be the best usage experience for me actually. Mastadon on the phone, Kbin on a desktop. Especially if it all links up.
@waterbottleonashelf @CodingAndCoffee @livus this is what I’m sticking to as a replacement to reddit/app. I’ve been mainly visiting #kbin on desktop but now that it’s federated, a lot of magazines/threads I follow are showing up in my Mastodon app. This #fediverse stuff is great!
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying "something something fellow Beehaw users!" and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Yeah, that part is a little confusing. Because this is a link aggregation site, it's currently set up to show the domain of whatever link is in the thread. But if it's just a text post, because it's being brought over here it self-reports that we're looking at kbin.social.
If you have the top bar enabled from settings you can see where you're currently looking at the top right.
I'm still trying to work that out too.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Oh, wow, thanks! I love it that my first inter-fediverse communication was you welcoming me, too.
I come in peace :)
Can we please call it literally anything else? I'm tired of "verses".
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
Universe definitely came along first
@themz true.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee and I'm reading this on mastodon!
I was trying to do this on Monday and couldn't, so I thought it wasn't possible. But now, here we are, and here it is!
Amazing!
Total newb here, how does one collapse comment threads on the web browser version of kbin here? I've tried clicking around and don't see some UI element or anything to indicate how to do such an action.
We don't have it yet. Kbin is really new, and we kind of swamped the dev with our sudden influx. It's on people's wishlists though, so I'm sure we will have it in future!
