I used to practice this art actively.

Hello JPEG, my old friend
I've come to post you again
Because a vision softly blurring
Left its compression while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the artifacts of JPEG

In restless dreams I browsed alone
Narrow memes of low quality
'Neath the halo of a monitor
I turned my eyes to the blurry screen
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a pixel light
That split the night
And touched the artifacts of JPEG

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand memes, maybe more
People reposting without sharing
People uploading without caring
People posting things that eyes once saw
And no one dared
Disturb the artifacts of JPEG

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
JPEG like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my files that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the blur of JPEG

And the people bowed and prayed
To the JPEG god they made
And the website flashed out its repost
In the words that it was compressing
And the website said, "The answer to your query
Is lost in the data
And it's all in the artifacts of JPEG"

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:

!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.
