YSK: Even though it isn't a foolproof criterion, the fact that a claimed "news" source is offered "completely free (as in free beer)" may suggest that it is poor quality
Why YSK: good journalism has a lot of costs (and not one-time-only), in time if not in money, so if any “news” source isn’t at least trying to get paid somehow*, then it indicates that the supply at zero price exceeds the demand (it is a “free good”), which means one of two things:...
YSK there is a setting in your Lemmy profile to hide posts that you've seen. Upvoting counts as interacting with that post and will hide it after refresh. ( lemmy.world )
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.
YSK: You can also search for new communities based on shared links and discussions you find interesting and engaging! ( kulli.sh )

YSK That an Automatic Lemmy Instance Deployer Exists ( github.com )
Why YSK: It makes setting up and hosting a Lemmy instance on your own server insanely easy. If you’ve been considering hosting but have no coding experience check it out! And check out the original post too
YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.
I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...
YSK: The day of the blackout on Reddit it got down, and this little server was alive and running at the same time. ( mujico.org )
I don’t know, I just found it amusing, another point for the Fediverse I guess.
YSK: One of Bowser's Koopa Kids is named Lemmy ( mario.fandom.com )
And he is a total spaz. Look at this guy he’s straight up looney toons...
YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options
For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and...

YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee.
Ghee, or Indian-style clarified butter, is butter that's been simmered and the milk solids (proteins and sugars) skimmed off. This leaves a clear yellow oil that doesn't smoke when it's heated and doesn't go rancid quickly, but has a distinct toasty butter flavor....

YSK: Your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3; setting it to anything else crops your photos
Why YSK: I've been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I've asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.
