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.

Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app
It's surprisingly effective for what is basically a Web container, although it is worth noting it doesn't work very well if you try and install it via Firefox.
My biggest issue with it is that it doesn't run quite as well as a native app, because it basically runs inside of a browser, which might be something to watch out for if you have an older device (and if you have an old iDevice, it doesn't work at all). It might end up being unusably slow.
What issues do you have running it via firefox? It seems fine for me, although I didn't try with chrome
Personally, I found it to be very sluggish compared to the inbuilt browser/Chrome, and vulnerable to a weird bug that Firefox seems to have on my device, where the entire browser engine stops working if you multitask/switch between apps, being stuck on a blank black/white screen until you close and restart the app.
Yeah same for me, firefox install feels sluggish whereas it runs smoother and faster with chrome. Maybe it has to do with how every site is optimized for chromium browsers nowadays.
Suggested method is to "install" the app: go to Settings, there's an option to install the app as a PWA there.
Unfortunately, that didn't really work properly for me when using Firefox on Android, and still runs into all the issues. Judging by the little firefox icon it put in, it installed as a Firefox web application, effectively running within the Firefox container, meaning it's still vulnerable to all the others that Firefox seems to have on my device.
