New Communities
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.

May be wrong place to comment this. But how the heck can I get to this link from Jerboa? !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world Tapping it results in my mail client opening. The initial exclamation mark doesn't get included in the link. I can't seem to find this community manually either. It's getting a bit frustrating trying to make the leap across, and I'm a technical professional! Appreciate this might be a Jerboa thing, but would be good if anyone has any insight.
Yeah I have the same problem with the links in Jerboa
Yeah, it's very frustrating, but I think it's a known bug to the Jerboa contributors and they're working on it. Guess that's the trade off when things are done for free, sometimes bugs take a bit longer to work out :/
In the meantime you can tap this link and Jerboa will open it in your web browser, then tap where I've highlighted. Should open it up in Jerboa.

Thanks. I think what I need to do for now is just open up c/newcommunities on a desktop browser and just add a bunch more.
