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/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

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.

Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

You are welcome!

[–] tamlyn 7 points 4 months ago

if someone plays jrpg's maybe take a look at [email protected] and maybe share something about the last game you played.

A couple fandom communities:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thanks for the "mostly fanart posts" disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that's what [email protected] is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!

By the way @[email protected], feel free to post to [email protected] as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hate having too many stuff to login to everyday are there any good instances you can reccomend. I just want a community or Instance to outdo reddit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You don't have to log in to any different instance.

You can just use https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] to access that community

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

As I have been called this along with troll and other stuff are you just spamming the community? Asking out of curiousity and I thank you for the link. I will....no hate or no sarcasm...much love mate.

[–] TacoEvent 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol I just don't want people to think I am a bot or a troll. I would like this to get much bigger and more niche. Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.

That's next level dedication

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well I would get a t-shirt that says fuck reddit on the front and support lemmy.world on the back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Feel free to post as much as you want on it, if necessary we'll tell you to post a bit less, but I think with your current rhythm it should be fine

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I've seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, stirring indeed, thanks!

I might post it later, we'll see

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Gonna try to post more to [email protected], more subscribers and posters welcome both.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Its a little slow to start and I'm writing my second post there now but I mod https://lemmy.world/c/tftt

Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, couldn't that type of content be also posted to [email protected] ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Lemmy is still small, so it's usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.

Anyway, good luck!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it lemmy.world? There's a typo that threw me off in the link.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

[email protected]

For all things Rubik's cubes and twisty puzzles!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

[email protected]

For anything Critical Role related, including from their main live-play D&D game and their adult animation show The Legend of Vox Machina

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't know if someone can link it but going to ask anyway can someone link me to the community of ELI5 that has like 13k subscribers so I can add it to my feed.?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

thank you so much....no sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

now how do I delete my community so we can combine forces?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can probably lock your community so that posts you created are still accessible.

You can do that by editing the community sidebar and check the "Only moderators can post" box

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cool thank you. No sarcasm was just thinking of people getting confused.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Once you've done that, I would recommend the following actions:

  • Make one last pinned post on [email protected] just saying "Hey everyone, we've moved to [email protected], and this community will be closed.
  • Edit the display name from "Explain Like I'm Five" to something like "(CLOSED) Explain Like I'm Five"

@[email protected], could you please add Don_Dickle as a moderator of [email protected]? I believe they have sent you the DM you asked for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

@[email protected]

Reminder to close the smaller community and direct people to the larger one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[email protected]

The preseason has just begun. We were fairly active last season with several active users. We are looking for returning and new contributors for the upcoming season.

If you play fantasy football, we’d love to have you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good luck! Just to clarify for readers, it's American football
