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.

If you use a script to mass edit your Reddit content, make sure you make it wait a few seconds between each edit. If you do the mass editing by hand, make sure you're not too fast.

Otherwise, it will appear like the edit was successful, but if you reload the page, you'll see it didn't actually take.

I've found a link to this fork of Power Delete Suite in the comments somewhere here in the fediverse and it worked because it waits for 5 seconds between edits. Warning: If you want a backup of your comments before editing them though, use the main Power Delete Suite to get it that, the fork's version of the backup was incomplete (I ran the backup first, looked for my very first Reddit post and it wasn't there, so I was glad I hadn't run the editing portion yet. When I ran the main version of PDS I got a complete backup. It's only the backup that's incomplete in the fork though, the editing caught everything once it had slogged through.)

PS 1: Reddit seems to be undeleting deleted stuff sometimes, but they don't seem to keep edit history.

PS 2: Some subreddits seem to remove all comments edited after/before some point in time or passed time period, some seem to remove all comments edited to mention lemmy/kbin.

PS 3: It is not possible to delete or edit or even see your own content in subreddits that are currently set to private. As subreddits go from private back to public, you'll need to go back and edit that newly visible and editable stuff.

Maybe this is not intentionally malicious but some sort of rate-limit or caching issue?

Yeah, it seems like an anti-spam measure. I remember that accounts would get all of their comments overwritten if they were compromised, and this would help that.
