What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
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 TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
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-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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- 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.

@Mr_Blott some of it seems is due to lemmy.world's config because things look different on feddit.de
0.19 tidied things up a bit but .world hasn't upgraded yet, that's why.
Some tips for this, as someone who does it all the time:
- Tag a Lemmy community like you would a Mastodon user to get this to work, for example
@til@lemmy.world, BUT... - The first line of your toot becomes the post title, so don't put any links or tag the community in that first line. Newer versions of Lemmy can strip out links but it still ends up looking weird. Looks best if you do something like the example below.
- You can only post to one community, trying to tag multiple will post to the first one and ignore the rest
- The first image attached to your toot becomes the Lemmy post image, but subsequent images get left behind
- If your Mastodon instance has AUTHORIZED_FETCH turned on and the Lemmy community you're trying to post to isn't on 0.19 yet, it won't work at all. In theory this should be fixed when more servers upgrade but we'll see.
Example toot format
This is my title, with nothing weird in it.
Rest of the toot goes here and will become the post body. This format will look nice on both Mastodon and Lemmy therefore not making anyone unreasonably mad at you.
@community and #Hashtags
Thank you! Honestly, Mastodon users should be banned from posting to Lemmy until after they've read this comment!
Not sure I'd go quite that far myself, but I do take any opportunity to emphasise the "no links in titles" thing for my own sanity 😄
@bionicjoey
That's a bit far, I think they should just be educated on proper posting etiquette for forum based Fediverse platforms like Lemmy and Mbin.
Correct me if im wrong but this isnt a top level post but rather a comment on an existing post?
@freemo @til Yours is. https://lemmy.world/post/10864704
Ugh. All those @'s and #tags in your comment look so gross. If you're going to post to Lemmy forums, at least have the decency to not talk like a microblogger
Not only that, my client shows expando links for each @ and # so it really clutters up the comment section.
