New Communities
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.

In what way will this community be distinct from !tifu@lemmy.world?
/shrug
Different server and mod(s). Pretty much was created because that TIFU didn't show up on my searches for whatever reason. TBH its too early to really say. Hopefully it gets used more.
Seems reasonable. I’m generally in favour of moving off LW.
Have you considered coordinating with the mods of the LW community to consolidate the communities?
Well it's got a more recent post than 8 months ago, and moderating across instances isn't ideal.
Sometimes duplicates or more need to exist before one takes off.
Indeed. Also good to have communities on other instances than LW
It is possible to moderate across instances?
Reports don't federate https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744
I just had a look at this one, there's only one active mod left
I just made it a week ago or so.
No no, yours is fine, I meant the LW one
@Burstar@sopuli.xyz @Crackhappy@lemmy.world @rjc@lemmy.world
I'm all for moving off LW. Would it be worth coordinating with each other to lock the LW community and redirect users to !tifu@sopuli.xyz?
