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.

MODERATORS
 

Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, stirring indeed, thanks!

I might post it later, we'll see

By the way @[email protected], feel free to post to [email protected] as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate having too many stuff to login to everyday are there any good instances you can reccomend. I just want a community or Instance to outdo reddit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You don't have to log in to any different instance.

You can just use https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] to access that community

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As I have been called this along with troll and other stuff are you just spamming the community? Asking out of curiousity and I thank you for the link. I will....no hate or no sarcasm...much love mate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Feel free to post as much as you want on it, if necessary we'll tell you to post a bit less, but I think with your current rhythm it should be fine

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol I just don't want people to think I am a bot or a troll. I would like this to get much bigger and more niche. Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.

That's next level dedication

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well I would get a t-shirt that says fuck reddit on the front and support lemmy.world on the back.

A couple fandom communities:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Gonna try to post more to [email protected], more subscribers and posters welcome both.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Its a little slow to start and I'm writing my second post there now but I mod https://lemmy.world/c/tftt

Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it lemmy.world? There's a typo that threw me off in the link.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting, couldn't that type of content be also posted to [email protected] ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I have no idea, maybe

Don't know if someone can link it but going to ask anyway can someone link me to the community of ELI5 that has like 13k subscribers so I can add it to my feed.?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

thank you so much....no sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

now how do I delete my community so we can combine forces?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can probably lock your community so that posts you created are still accessible.

You can do that by editing the community sidebar and check the "Only moderators can post" box

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool thank you. No sarcasm was just thinking of people getting confused.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Once you've done that, I would recommend the following actions:

  • Make one last pinned post on [email protected] just saying "Hey everyone, we've moved to [email protected], and this community will be closed.
  • Edit the display name from "Explain Like I'm Five" to something like "(CLOSED) Explain Like I'm Five"

@[email protected], could you please add Don_Dickle as a moderator of [email protected]? I believe they have sent you the DM you asked for.
