YSK: You can search (most of?) lemmy as a search engine
Due to the nature of fediverse, you can't just do a "site:lemmy" search as you'd do with reddit (site:reddit.com). I was searching for ways to do it on my firefox browsers and I came to a solution that searches 21 different instances simultaneously, which I consider to be a big part of lemmy (I also include kbin instances).

YSK The difference between equality, justice and equity. ( lemmy.world )

YSK: Browsing "ALL" at work might get you pulled into an office, even with NSFW off.

Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can't edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.
Why YSK: It helps when calculating percentages. If you want to find out what 2% of 20 is, do 20% of 2 instead and you'll get 0.4. So, 2% of 20 also equals 0.4....
