Why YSK: I use the web version of Lemmy both on desktop and mobile. By going directly to the 2nd page of posts, I get rid of both the neverending stream of new posts and of the same old posts that keep sticking to the 1st page. It works for all the filters: active, hot... No need to scroll down, just change the number in the end...
GOODBYE RELATIVE LINKS!!!...
Why YSK: making the most of the fediverse means aggregating content from as many places as possible, but it's not an intuitive process right now, especially for those using apps like Jerboa or Mlem....
What it is: Someone shows you the palm of their hand with their thumb conspicuously tucked across it, then closes their fingers around their thumb, in a video call or in real life....
Thunder is an open Lemmy app for iOS and Android that is currently under development. You won’t find it in any app store, so it’s not as well known as Jerboa. Still, it’s an excellent app....
Why YSK: So you can turn off location tracking in Google...
Why YSK: because people often treat sunburns like a minor thing when they can actually have very serious consequences, affect your health and ruin your holidays....
Why YSK?...
Why YSK: Service Dog etiquette is to leave them alone as to not distract the dog’s focus. If they’re approaching you, they could be using a last ditch effort to save their owner. They will usually follow you, whine, bark, or otherwise try to grab your attention if this is the case.
Why YSK: If you ever need any of these things (eg you fell into hardship), just look for the nearest Sikh temple. While you’re there, please respect their culture and cover your hair while you’re in the prayer hall or in “langar” hall. A langar hall is where the food is served. If you like you can also volunteer to help...
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
Why YSK: Some banks have no minimum age for authorized users, and report credit usage for them. If you have a credit card you don’t use much, you can add your kids as authorized users, set up a reoccurring payment from the card and an automatic payment to the card, and then forget about it. Your kid could become an adult with...
Why YSK: A proper tire has the tire label centered over the valve to make the valve easy to spot, and for balanced aesthetics....
If you can’t remember how to spell desert or dessert, think of Strawberry Shortcake which has 2 x “S”. That makes deSSert the thing you eat, and deSert the place that’s hot...
For context, if you are shy or uncomfortable having your pictures taken, please reconsider! My uncle passed away due to cancer a few years ago and we realized that he didn’t like his pictures taken… So now all we have to remember him by are a handful of pictures.
Upper note: This post is not about Lemmy. It’s about this specific community :)...
We need two more moderators! Volunteers please comment or message me along with your past moderating experience. You are encouraged to start familiarising yourself with our rules! :)
I was getting annoyed that the default view is always local posts with Active, and found out that you can change the defaults in the settings! Just don’t forget to hit save like I did....
Why YSK this is that when I was 13 I saw a YouTube video (back in the wee early days) and I saw this experiment where two people put a grape in the microwave, in a jar. Well, I thought that it was cool, so I did it myself. And that’s when it got bad. I put an entire grapevine in the microwave with no jar to encase them and...
Why YSK: One advantage of most Unix and Unix derived operating systems is their package managers. While new users might be scared at first, after trying them for a while many will find it easier, faster and more convenient to simple type and automatically install and update all their programs....
Welcome to YSK, a community aiming to be one of the most useful out there....
Why YSK: This is an extension that I’m developing with a few other people to make your Lemmy experience nicer. If you give it a try, let me know with thoughts and what else you want to see. It’s free, open source, and you can contribute if you want. :)...
Why: You can find better sound for less money if you learn how to read a Spinorama....
Hello c/YSK! As you may have noticed from the fancy “A” next to his name on his posts around Lemmy, our fearless leader AvaddonLFC is now an Administrator, which means he can no longer be part of our moderation team. I have agreed to take over his communities because I believe in what we’ve all been building together as a...
