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.

The sorting algorithm still needs some work.
it's reminiscent of the iTunes shuffle at launch. the shuffle was truly random, so with a large enough user base, some people were annoyed that the same artist might get played multiple times in a row. it's a possibility in true random generations, but it felt wrong, so they fixed it and made rules for shuffle so it seemed more random
Helped me to block some communities I was not interested in, now it's much better.
Well, all the sort options are rational. You just have to use the one you prefer. How would you sort posts differently ?
I miss rising and best on reddit gave me better experience. And I have not the slightest idea what a good sorting algorithm might be, I just can tell if it works for me or not. What helped me here, is blocking the communities I was not interested in, now the feeds are much more to my liking.
I need something that works well for both small and large communities. Active and top basically only shows big communities. I want some form of "top" that's actually relative to the norm for that community (both in terms of votes and how many posts the community gets). I'd rather not see completely new posts (I often like someone else to take the "first pass"), but don't want to completely miss content in small communities.
In fact, right now, it seems like the only way to see stuff in smaller communities is to specifically browse that community? That's the only way I've ever seen posts from my tiny local city community. It has posts, but they've never once showed up on my subscribed front page.
You're not wrong about this still needing a lot of work. But just fyi in the meantime sorting by "new comments" turns up a pretty good mix for me.
