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.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, 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.

Out of curiosity, how many browse on desktop?
I’ve been using Lemmy since the API exodus and only ever substantially used wefwef/Voyager the whole time. Even on desktop I use the PWA for Voyager.
It would be cool if something like this could also be incorporated into the apps because it sucks when someone puts a link that doesn’t correctly use your instance to see the post they’re sharing, instead opening a browser to display the post.
I am on desktop pretty much exclusively.
I assume just via the normal desktop site? I tried that back when I very first started with Lemmy but I quickly switched to using the Voyager web app just because I like the app features and especially the post layout. I might have to give the default web interface another shot as I only tried way back when I first switched over.
Default lemmy ui is atrocious (in my oh-so-humble opinion), though some people do like it.
I'd recommend Photon or Alexandrite
I use Alexandrite. It's the closest to Sync / Thunder I've tried.
I wasn’t the biggest fan, thanks for the recommendations. I’ll give em a shot.
Lots of instances host these alongside the default ui. If they have it theres usually a link in the sidebar or try adding a subdomain 'p'.
Whoops guess I should've specified, I use the Alexandrite UI instead of the default
100% of the time I'm using an app, just like I did on reddit. Don't even know what the desktop site looks like (jk)

I’ll browse here and there in browser on my laptop but 90+% of the time I’m using voyager
I only visit the site via desktop.
I do a lot of browsing on desktop, especially when comments need a lot of research. I use mobile a lot as well.
I’m on desktop 80% of the time and use Alexandrite for its 2-column layout.
I use Voyager on mobile most of the time, but still do a little browsing on my desktop using Photon.
I use this on the Android Firefox browser :D didn't like the apps at the time I made this, that's why I made sure that it's compatible with mobile Firefox as well.
What does Voyager do if you click on a link to another instance? Open in the browser?
Thunder tries to resolve the link to your local instance and opens it directly in the app.
Voyager opens it in voyager on your home instance. It's really nice
Nice, that's what I would expect! Lemmy has an endpoint that makes it easy to resolve links across instances. The OP implied Voyager didn't do that.
