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/[email protected])
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.

I am indeed, thank you very much! :D
I've only been seeing scattered Imaginary communities on Lemmy so far, which I assumed were rogue communities, so I'm happy to see you guys from INE make an official FNIC here.
Thanks for the art breaks from all the chaos that's happening here on Lemmy. Godspeed, and lemmy see you around!
thank you, but they're very much unofficial by design (i'm not associated with the reddit ine, and i get the impression they've no interest in lemmy):
i think most of the imaginary network on reddit was the same [group of] mod[s] - i'm deliberately not doing that, and letting each lemmysphere do their own thing (hence the "federated"). this is a descriptive not prescriptive group, and this is mostly for easy discovery for people who are interested
Oh, that makes sense, and thank you for explaining it!
It's a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.
I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims. Though I've personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.
It's good to have some more pleasant art pop up in my feed, and have a proper place to link people with which I discuss art on Lemmy, so thank you for making FNIC!
It’s a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.
yeah, there is also a matrix space where i'm doing anything i can democratically as well

don't apologise! (i did steal their naming convention as well)
Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.
neither did i; but better safe than sorry and all that (also i just made [email protected] because nobody else would, and it's just sort of snowballed from there - i didn't know if people would have beef with me, so i don't want to dictate what happens everywhere)
I'd just like to take the blame for two separate Imaginary posts here in a row. I posted not realising this would be posted a matter of hours later!
