Staircase Mate
Sort:
I like that you’re helping people out, but chess.com already covered all of this in the lessons section.
Yeah, I know that, but we have to watch the lessons before, and they are bit long, so I thoght posting them in here
This is the 2 rook checkmate as covered in the Beginner Lessons (https://www.chess.com/lessons/winning-the-game/checkmate-with-two-rooks), I'd be wary about posting lessons from the site in the forums since that is not one of the freebie 'how to play' lessons but falls under either limited access or a subscription.

This is not quite detailed though.

I like that one too. I'll post that when I have time! 
A few things you might consider:
1. The mate you showed did not cover what to do when white correctly approaches to drive off the rooks.
2. You showed an up the board mate when the side mate using the same technique was faster. If the king is already on the side of the board, it is faster to trap it there immediately (Rg2, etc.). In this case, the side mate is 4 moves regardless of which way white decides to go (h6 or h4), where the mate you posted, if white plays correctly and attacks the rooks, will take more than double that number of moves.
3. Lichess is not "chess.com's little friend". You should be showing how to do this using chess.com's tools, not a competitor website 
.
Keep moving the king in L shape till you get this.

Small and easy puzzle to make you try.. See if you can do it with no mistakes (for beginners)
You can M2 instead, in many different ways.
So no, it is almost 100% guaranteed you will make a mistake in the puzzle, like I did.

Hello There! I am Ramya, aka HelloIamHere. I am nine years old when I wrote this. My Profile.
I will teach you one of the basic checkmates, that I larnt when I was 6. "Staircase mate".
It would end up like this.
It can also by made by the Queen.
Varaitions:
There are more, but that's bit advanced.
Let's see how to do it.
First we need to drive away the king.
So, by cutting off the king, It would become like this.
Then Attack the king. Give a check.
Then the king needs to run away to the other rank. Continue this.

I applied your idea, but it didn't work. You have to consider your opponent's responses as well. Surely Black won't move in the following position like what you have shown on post #1.
