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.

Also, if this selected, it will hide any posts you make. I have been saving the posts I make as a favorite until Lemmy fixes this.

I'd like a hide post button. I sometimes want to hide posts, but not usually ones I've interacted with.

[–] haltowork@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

There should really be an option to simply hide posts...

I use jerboa. Can someone tell me how to do that? Or suggest an app with such feature?

I hope we come to a better solution than upvoting things to mark them read and make them go away. That generates a lot of noise in the voting data. Say what you want about whether votes are useful for sorting content, but flooding them with garbage data can only make them worse.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if there was a "confirm seen" button between up and down voting that'd be good for this. You don't want to register positive or negative for it, just mark it as read. Maybe this should be (optionally maybe) automatic for any post scrolled past?

[–] Gold_ghost057@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this! Just made the adjustment, I was starting to get a bit annoyed with the same top/ active posts showing for the last day

[–] where_am_i@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

oh my gad, where have you been all this time?!

[–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a feature request here to make this into a more obvious setting, and here to stop counting your own posts as read, plus more ideas here.

[–] ratamacue@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Just need a "mark read in scroll" for those of us who like fresh content and doomscroll often.

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh this thing is super annoying rn.

Yeah, I'm really hoping Lemmy gets a manual hide/unhide feature similar to Reddit at some point.
