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 or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it's time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/69664596

A community for sharing news articles, podcasts, videos, etc that are relevant to South Africans.

I often want to share South African news articles and stuff that are actually good insted of the usual buzz-feed style articles that I see floating around on social media.

But I also dont want to turn !southafrica@lemmy.world into one of those national communities with one person posting news articles.

So I made a new community specifically for sharing South African news. That is all.

!southafricanews@reddthat.com

!historymemes@quokk.au

With the news that the moderator of Piefed.Social's historymemes community will be leaving the Fediverse after Piefed.Social's draconian voting changes, I have made an alternative community that can continue to be moderated. This is something I had wanted to do for a while as .social has some rather questionable leadership but have refrained from doing out of respect for the active community but that is a moot point now.

You’ve explained it to a 5-year-old, now explain it to a bunch of small green maniacs!

This is a parody community inspired by other ELI5 communities with a fantasy twist. All questions should be answered as if the person who asked has no idea about our modern world, is more interested in shinies than knowledge and might attack you at any moment.

!fill_in_the_blank_comics@lemmy.blahaj.zone

It's a classic forum game from way back in the BBS days, thought I'd bring it back cause it can be pretty funny

Either through writing captions, editing the uploaded image, or even drawing in new parts of it, you finish the comic which is missing something
