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.

Thank you for this, one part I'm still struggling with and would appreciate help...
How do I subscribe to a community that is on another instance and have it show up on my account? Example - I have an account here at lemmy.world, but there's https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy community and I'd love to see their posts in one place on my lemmy.world account. How do I do this? If I navigate to that link, it asks me to create a lemmy.dbzer0 account to subscribe so i dont think i'm following the correct pathway
eta - nevermind i figured it out. going to leave my comment here for others though
so what you have to do is search for that community on your own instance and then select it and subscribe that way. Can't follow the link directly to the instance, but rather have to search using lemmy.world's search and follow the link from there. So for instance: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
(if there's a more straightforward way, i'd still appreciate tips)
You got it right, if you want to use your lemmy.world account, you gotta browse through lemmy.world.
Going to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy you would need a lemmy.dbzer0.com account.
You can also link to another community on another instance with this syntax: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
thanks, glad those sort of autopopulate once you start typing ! and then the community name. Would probably screw it up if it didnt haha
