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.



Partnered Communities:

You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

Why YSK: you can recreate the old Reddit experience by using this frontend for those who have always used old.reddit. It also gives a nostalgic feel, is more efficent, and loads faster than the Lemmy interface.

Does it have a dark mode or is it retina burning blue and white?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes it has a dark mode

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome, will give a try. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's actually great. I would love to see it's options expanded a bit, and moving things like community icon and banner onto the top bar where they are on old.reddit but it looks really good thus far.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed, I don't like the banner on the sidebar but it's great! I would also like the option for custom CSS in communities like on Reddit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is so good that I almost wish it was the default theme.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's brilliant! I started trying to use RES features before realizing they weren't there.

Would love to have multis and such. Great start, can't wait to see if more options get added!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool stuff! I just took a brief look and it was very recognizable, which is cool. Does / will it have RES features implemented?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Now all we need is for someone to recreate Reddit's compact interface for those older devices that can't run the apps, or for people who just want a lighter site.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

this is really cool. how is it with security?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This feels nice.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, this is kind of weird in a good way

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Basically, only instance admins could deploy this, right?

Would be nice to have this as an option under Themes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

no you can just go to mlmym.org and login there. does not need to be loaded on the instance at all.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do we trust them not to steal credentials?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You can run your own docker instance if you don't trust them. The code - along with an example of how to run it - are here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmmm yeah this does seem to be proxying login info. Ideally it would be done like elk.zone and mastodon where it kicks you out to an oauth flow that returns with an app token you can later revoke in your account settings. But I'm guessing that doesn't exist for lemmy yet.

On the bright side the UI looks amazing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They do have published source code, so you can look through that if you're concerned, or host your own version instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ah I see. Thanks for the tip!

Nice, here's hoping for a Kbin version once Kbin's API is ready!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same here!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wow! This is awesome. Nostalgia city!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I love this, thank you for sharing!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Is anyone able to log in? Whenever I try, it just refreshes the page. When I go to the login page and do it from there, I get a Bad gateway error.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks great!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on Kbin, wish this could be used on Kbin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wow, this is very nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wow, this is very nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

AMAZING

Hopefully it will be forked so we can move beyond old reddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is broken for me :( HTTPS issues

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Trying to run this on unraid, but login and dark mode don't work :(
