How do I get an element in Cypress without it asserting that it is present?
cy.get('.something')
Sometimes my element might not be there and I don't want it to fail the test.
Is there a different command I should be using?

You can use cy.$$('selector') to synchronously query for an element (jquery).
If you want this to happen after a cypress command, you'll need a .then:
cy.visit('/')
cy.get('element-one').then(() => {
const $el2 = cy.$$('element-two')
if ($el2.length) {
// do this
} else {
// do that
}
})
