Why YSK: Sometimes, on Lemmy, links will take you off-instance, and show you content without displaying it through your instance. This prevents you from easily interacting with the content, voting or commenting or even just subscribing.
Going forward, to link communities it is now enough to simply write the name of a community/magazine in the !name@instan.ce format, and lemmy will convert that into a clickable local link for each users instance, so they never get taken off-instance in a manner especially confusing to new users.
Examples:
!gameart@sopuli.xyz
!titanfall@lemmy.world
!anime_irl@lemmy.ml
!Fediverse@kbin.social
If you are on an instance now running 0.18.0, you’ll see four clickable links. These are not relative markdown links, I simply wrote the name of the communities in plain-text.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !youshouldknow@lemmy.world
YSK - for all things that can make your life easier!
1-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 yourself improve on activities, skills and various other tasks in life.
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
2- 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.
3- Non-factual ideas or concepts based on conspiracy theories will be removed.
4-No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
