A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

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:

!community@instance.com

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.

Maybe off-topic answers since you probably specifically meant fediverse communities, but here's my thoughts:

  • Local Buy Nothing groups can be a great way to keep things in use and out of landfills.
  • I would think any craft communities might be a great way to get general ideas.
  • I see what you did there.

Just my thoughts, fwiw.

I keep thinking about a conversation I had with someone that you should replaced your shoes every few hundred kilometers, and based on the number they gave me I would have to buy new shoes every two months. I took this as a challenge to wear my shoes till the bittter end. In the last two and a half years I had to reglue some spots and by now the soles are worn through on most parts, so it is getting time. But why cant I repair and jeep using them for longer?
