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.

!thelittlethings@lemmy.cafe

Yeah I just created the community on one instance and now the instance is shutting down so, making it again on lemmy.cafe instead.

We actually had some posts already on the old community which was awesome to see. I know it's a bit tedious but I hope those of you who liked it and contributed join back!

(Not sure if this kind of post is technically in the spirit of "new communities", especially since I literally made the same post like a week or so ago but, I'd hate to see the budding community die because of things outside my control)

Was intended to be about Kremlin propaganda, which is by far the strongest, but Trump and the rest of the world are getting so crappy that it's difficult to abstain from ridiculing them too.

!thelittlethings@lemy.lol

I took a cursory glance and didn't see (living) communities of this vein. Figured I may as well start one.

!southernhiphop@feddit.online

The definitive hub for the sounds of the South. From the trunk-rattling bass of Atlanta and the dark aesthetics of Memphis to the chopped and screwed vibes of Houston, this community is dedicated to the pioneers and the new wave of Southern rap.

Whether you are here for the 808s or the production techniques, pull up and share your favorite tracks.


Rules

  1. Maintain the Vibe\
    Be respectful. Debate is fine, but toxicity, hate speech, and elitism are not tolerated.

  2. Credit the Architects\
    When posting newer tracks, try to credit the producer in the comments if they are known. The beat is half the soul of the South.

  3. Proper Titling\
    Follow the format: [Artist] - [Track Name].
    Example: Three 6 Mafia - Stay Fly

  4. No Self-Promotion Spam\
    Original music is welcome, but do not flood the feed. Limit self-promo to one post per week and engage with others.
