1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Just a general point about this
New Communities
community.This
Traditional Art
community isn't really new (over a month old) ... but IMO that is not just fine but good ... I think using this community as a way of sharing communities that are probably new to many, despite not being terribly young, is a great thing to aid discovery!Obviously there'd be a line beyond which would be just advertising, but I also think that that would be a fairly clear line.
Another thing worth considering, maybe, is it might be good to have a community rule for distinguish actually new communities and newly suggested communities in the title.
I would suggest to keep things in this community, both new communities and promotion of existing communities.
We should try to avoid fragmentation of the audience
Ah I see, that's fair enough. I'm sorry if I was spamming (it was entirely unintentional on my part) and I will make sure to abide by the rules from now on.
I don’t think this was crossing any lines? People should know about the Traditional Art Community!
