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/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

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.

How is this supposed to work? How do you describe a song in text well enough for someone else to recognise it?!

The way it worked on Reddit was that people would post a link to a small audio clip of them singing the song (usually on vocaroo.com) or playing what they remembered of it on an instrument. You could also talk about what happened in the music video, what kind of voices were singing, etc.

If I tell you I can’t remember the name of a tune commonly played at Christmas that has a couple recordings with singing and some just as an instrumental, and on the instrumental there’s a horse whinny and whip crack? You probably know I’m talking about Sleigh Ride.

I’ve personally never heard a rendition of Jingle Bells with a horse whinny and whip crack. Which one is this?

Parts of the lyrics? A snippet of the song from some video? One of the band members name? There's lots of ways.
