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.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.



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.

That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.

[–] livus@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (26 children)

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!

[–] clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (9 children)

Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you're commenting from kbin. That's so cool!

Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!

[–] AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] ewe@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it'll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.

The federation is now active and hello!

[–] talizorah@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This has been the most fascinating last few days. Hello Lemmy from Kbin~

So cool ^^
Time to start digging through communities/magazines for places to be!

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 9 points 2 years ago

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

How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯

[–] AshDene@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (8 children)

What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.

Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn't seem optimal.

[–] eee@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

yeah kbin and lemmy don't seem to interact very well... having two separate hives that don't talk to each other isn't good for the fediverse, it creates unnecessary fragmentation :(

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

Seeing lemmy posts on kbin this morning has me so excited. I don't even know how the R site can even compete with the fediverse at this rate

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

That explains why I've been seeing some people saying "magazine"

I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities

Hey, can you folks at Lemmy see this post from kbin.social yet?

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 12 points 2 years ago (6 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. :-/

I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/Aquariums@kbin.social and https://lemmy.world/c/houseplants@kbin.social ). It did work but I'm unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn't say pending, it correctly says "joined" but still no posts.

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 21 points 2 years ago (7 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
[–] Perdendosi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url (!utah@kbin.social), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

Parts of this timeline are improving

[–] clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.

Also, please do not forget to include a "Why YSK:" in your post's body text.

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 :)

[–] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

They are different software with a compatible protocol also used by a handful of other software including Mastodon. There are other kbin instances like fedia.io and there are hundreds of Lemmy instances.

Since the beginning of the Reddit blackout, kbin.social had been running in isolation due to server load. Now it is fully integrated with the rest of us (I'm not on kbin at the moment).

[–] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Different software. Kbin is written in PHP, Lemmy with Rust.

[–] derivator@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know! Why would they do that to themselves!

Lemmy and kbin are completely different Software but they can talk to each other with the same protocol.
