The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
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.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Wheeeeeeee, I'm in the user regex!
Why regex? I never used that name anywhere, could have added my user directly and saved some compute?
Yeah, they used a pattern to allow my username to be optionally followed by numbers and yet I've never had an account like that. Which gives me a weird ai hallucination vibe actually.
i feel left out :/
Dammit, I'm not on the list. I have to step up my game!
What’s with crypto-authoritarian “libertarians” and their obsession with science fictiony sounding names?
I guess i'm not interesting enough
I'M BLOCKTIKUS!
I like how this dev used regex to match any similar names, not just the specific name they're trying to block. People out there catching strays, getting blocked when they've done nothing but have a similar name to someome this dev doesn't like.
"^Darkassassin([0-9]+)?$",
Did they block me? Someone else, but I'm similar?
I've never used another number with this name, just the full 'Darkasassin07'
Screw anyone called 'Darkasassin' I guess 🤷🏻
I don't understand any of this but I would like to know how to find out if I am on the list.
You're not on it. But come, let us both step up our game and get on this list together
I'm surprised I made the list, I'm not terribly prolific and mostly post animal memes. I guess I should feel seen!
How the fuck am I not on the list.
I make leftist anticapitalist ~~posts~~ comments all the time. How TF am I not on the list?
Awe, I didn't make the list 😢
YAY! I made the list!
Awww dang, I'm not on there. I guess I should be a bit more venomous in my comments.
Yep, I'm on there.
I'm on it! 🙌
I'm not sure if they don't like me because I'm trans, or if they just hate wood scientists.
I am but that list is so long it’d be more interesting to see who is not on it.
Hey @ptz@dubvee.org I'm on the blacklist. Can you put me on the blacklist a second time? Thx 
lol i’m on the list, too. what a douche move.
I'm honoured!
Disappointed I didn't make the list. How many cocktails do I need to Molotov to get the recognition I deserve?
Line 1449...lol
