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/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
Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It's a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!
Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don't talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!
Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.
I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It's not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.
Huh ... funny.
Still, from lemmy.world's perspective, I can appreciate the logic. I think many were thinking that lemmy.world would be the "everything" instance. Instead, it's probably best thought of as the "vanilla" instance, which frankly makes sense. In a decentralised ecosystem, where moderation policies are allowed to be specific and don't need to bend over to try to be as expansive as possible, because any other alternative policy can be easily deployed on another instance, it makes perfect sense. It's just some were expecting something broader as a direct substitute for reddit without having to worry about the whole decentralisation thing.
