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.

We started coming here because we had to pay for Reddit
That's not accurate and that's a false equivalency and you know it, man.
I hate reddit and everything but reddit is still "free" last time I checked (though the users are the product.)
We're here because reddit screwed up alternative app devs, and it also worsened the user experience for everyone.
And the "reddit payments" are there solely to enrich some board member assholes.
Donating to Lemmy instance maintainers so they recoup some of the server costs for something they pretty much consider a hobby is definitely not the same.
Nah. Im here because I didn't want to pay.
But you didn't have to pay. So...
But regardless, we're all here.
You were never forced to pay though... And no one else is here for that (non-existent) reason.
You can't just say "we" and then give a completely illogical reason.
YOU and only you are here because you are an idiot and thought you had to pay, no one else is part of that.
You don’t need to pay there either, so feel free to go back.
I was a Redditor for 14 yrs or so never paid a penny. I left because of censorship, shadow banning, bots and shills, atroturf'd voting and manipulation of content and posts from the reddit team themselves due to bribes or whatever support they get from forign entities, how they killed all 3rd party apps, and how they use their users data and abusing their mods and subs under those mods control.
Plus reddit used to be fun. I remember thinking at the end of the day, "I'll browse reddit until I read something that makes me laugh out hard" and withing 15-20 minutes, I was laughing my ass off.
Nowadays it's pure doom and gloom bullshit.
And the moon rug pull!
