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.

MODERATORS
YSK: this community is mainly for facts or guides. What you’ve posted is an opinion.
Is this not a guide on how best to use sites like lemmy, kbin, reddit, and the like? The software is designed to promote content that's favored by the users. If the users don't do their part, it limits the functionality of the software.
I'm sure there are people here with more experience that will be glad helping you comprehend what is and what can be done before you come up preposterously "establishing guidelines".
I don't agree with you, since the OP post does state the fact that more upvoted content will be more visible. This is a fact
Even though I don't agree with you, I've upvoted you since I want to promote the discussion.
But that’s not the main point you’re making. “YSK: upvoting content makes it more visible” wouldn’t be much of a post would it?
You’re trying by to dictate what people “should” or “shouldn’t” promote. That part isn’t objective, it’s conveying your own ideas. Which doesn’t fit the YSK community.
In fairness I didn't make that point, someone else did.
I still agree with the OP though.
It’s completely irrelevant who made the point. If you can “agree” or “disagree” with the content, by principle it does not belong in YSK.
Take a look at some of the posts in this community. Does it seem like you could agree or disagree with most of them? No, because the typical YSK post is just a plain piece of information, which is either true or false (hopefully true).
