Rules included would be good too. I don't know if I can post external links or discussion sometimes.

We do include rules in the lemdro.id communities. Unfortunately, many don't read the sidebar.
Some communities have pinned posts that explain their community in more detail, but I generally agree with you.
That avatar really isn't cool for people with sensitivity to flashing images, please don't do that.
I have started community !galaxywatch@lemdro.id some time ago. Description says "A place to discuss Samsung Galaxy Watches (all models): question, personal impressions, apps, problems, accessories, news, photos of your watches.". Do you see this detailed enough?
I think I do, I think "watches" designates what it is, and Galaxy is a well known branding... At least that's my feeling, maybe someone has a different opinion.
This was a problem on reddit too, and it looks like it’s carried over here. People make new communities and just assume that everyone in the future who finds it will just automatically know the purpose.
