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:
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.

Have you come across any other "imaginary ______" places? I followed a lot of those on Reddit and miss them.
not really. i got bored of waiting for them; that's why i'm making them myself
there are a few of the more active ones in the sidebar, or you might find something by searching lemmyverse.net for imaginary. if you make one, tell me and I'll put it in the sidebar
i'm currently starting up imaginarydieselpunk, then i might make one for steampunk. do you have any requests?
I don't create content on these myself or have time to mod them, but these are the ones I subbed to and appreciated on reddit. Besides going over to reddit and suggesting people move here I'm not sure how to encourage content here.
heh, i don't want to mod them either - i plan to hand them off to the first person that comes along. but i think people are more likely to add content to sublemmy that has content; so i'm "pump-priming" the sub by posting some pictures that i did post to reddit before, and some i found on tumblr
most of these are outside my wheelhouse, but i will do wastelands; and maybe portals & behemoths. aviation, landscapes, and starships already exist, and cyborgs might be an alternative to robotics. i'll ping you when/if i make them though
keeping this comment as a todo list for myself. it anyone wants to create these for me though that would be great
