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

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned 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.

Hello everyone,

As you may know, recently I started a few threads on specific categories of communities

  • manual hobbies
  • video games
  • music
  • animals
  • art
  • fandoms
  • casual conversations
  • etc.

Feel free to have a look at the recent threads in this community, most of them are there.

We might restart that cycle at some point (maybe next week). In the meantime, do you think there is any topic which should have their own thread that we haven't covered yet?

Country, city, location as a theme might help connect people and place.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Indeed, I was thinking about it too!

@Five@slrpnk.net is keeping !Chicago@midwest.social alive and active

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe broaden "video games" to just "games" to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don't have a great bucket in the categories there.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like a good idea, would you like the create the thread?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No. But I'd comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Actually I'm going to create the thread, the video games thread is already quite busy

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, you could make it the "traditional/tabletop games" thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

The post, in the community we're in, !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Basically a post titled "Anime related active communities promotion post", no even need for a body, people are probably used to them by now

[–] cacheson@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Politics, activism, and social commentary, maybe? Could be a drama magnet, but it does seem to be a sizable chunk of the threadiverse.

[–] montar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Tech? I would really love to join reverse engineering community or two.

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
  • Humour, like comics and memes.
  • Literature, I'm sure there are communities around genres, authors, book series....
[–] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

There was one for humour 12 days ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/27868496

Books and literature could be a good one, would you like to create it?
