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. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.



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.

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 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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

[–] UnshavedYak@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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!

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.

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

test comment

https://lemmy.world/c/autism@kbin.social

the link above doesn't work. any ideas?

[–] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy instances don't pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.

[–] ElSapo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

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.

Lemmy is similar to Reddit. Mastodon is similar to twitter. Is there an easy analog for kbin?

[–] lackthought 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it seems to be an amalgamation of reddit and twitter

they have 'magazines' which are like subreddits, but magazines can designate hashtags which appear on the 'microblog' tab of a magazine and seem to pull in posts from other fediverse instances such as Mastodon

I'm still learning my way around but that is how I understand it

[–] CassowaryTom@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

Wow. That's a little different. Thanks!

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

[–] clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well I don't know about that, but "appoint as mod" option still exists when I select your post. Maybe we can make a test community for that haha

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] ewe@lemmy.world 1 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.

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Glad to hear!

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

That's looking at the bright side lol

[–] sickpusy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Had to try and it yep it is.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?

[–] sheepyowl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not yet. Ernest is still working on improving the UI, but honestly he probably has such a giant pile on his desk that we can't really tell when what will happen, or if something will be added at all unless he's currently working on it.

[–] nighthawk@aus.social 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it's weird that the existing comments don't show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.

I didn't expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

That's awesome! Looks like I joined at the perfect time. =)

I'm really curious what will eventually emerge from all these different approaches to the federatedverse.

How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯

[–] AshDene@kbin.social 0 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?
