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:
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
I use Sponsorblock, enjoy it, and promote it whenever appropriate... but do we really a whole community for that? What do you want to talk about it there?
Yeah, I don't see much point in that either. Sponsorblock related posts could be just part of a general YT related community instead. Segregating into some fringe communities is just going to further lower the content easily available, making the fediverse appear even more empty. Other instances will likely never see those tiny fringe communities because they won't even federate until someone on that same instance subscribes to it.
Intrigued as well
hahaha, interesting, thanks for the questions!
Why not.
It is just another new community like many on lemmy.
People can talk about SponsorBlock and the like.
I honestly do not get it. Look at the pinned post: "Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content."
Please, let's not get into this habit of creating communities without having any clear purpose. It only makes things look even deader than they already are.
It's because OP is a tankie — possibly a Russian operative — trying to build as many communities to moderate on lemmy as they can, so they can post propaganda in an echo chamber, ban users for wrongthink, and control the narrative.
I can't find OP in that thread. Is this just conspiracy speculation?
OP is the original poster, so https://lemmy.world/u/jimmydoreisalefty
I just had a look at their profiles, the number of communities is quite high indeed.
TIL, people follow that rule.
I try to keep my communities active, not sure you can say that about the others though.
