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 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.

Several people pointed out that our rules for behavior weren't immediately apparent. While I would say this shouldn't be an issue in a community about posting new communities, I have been proven wrong on multiple occasions. So I have made the list in our sidebar. These are a paraphrasing of Mastodon.World's rules. So there is no functional change. We will continue to use their rules as a master list. But they boil down to being civil. If you don't like something or someone and have no constructive criticism, then you just move on.

I'm going to put changes here as well so people on apps can see them easier.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it's time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It's about drinking establishments. We already have !tea@feddit.uk and !coffee@feddit.uk so it was about time we expanded the selection of available beverages.

I am interested in a community of people of faith who are at the same time on the political left, particularly anarchism, and lgbtq+ inclusion, particularly transgender. I am kinda sick and tired of atheists harassing everyone religious. I don't care much about the philosophy surrounding it, it is just that their collective behavior is arguably harassment, not a bit different to typical transphobic harassment about delusions etc. I believe that freedom of religious belief is a very basic right for people of all convictions. At the moment there is a huge divide: religious lgbtq+ people who are also anarchist (and might have been ostracized by their religious community on top of everything else) have no place to go without facing atheist harassment, and this is how there is no place to discuss faith together with politics and identity. So, here goes, I want to start this discussion with people who would like to see sth like this happening.

Community for posting about Science Adventure series.

!gardengrooves@walledgarden.xyz

TLDR I've been thinking about moving my music posting to my own instance for a long time and decided to finally do it.

GG is spiritually/functionally the same as SJ was but now I don't have account hop to make sure things like reports are being seen reliably.

If you were part of the old community you are welcome to continue posting on the new one. If you've never heard of either place you're invited to check out Garden Grooves and share whatever music you enjoy. If you hate potentially seeing a bunch of music links maybe blocking the community is more your thing.

Whatever you do, enjoy it!

I am concerned about ten forward seemingly deciding to do a war on fascism. This community is basically insurance for those who just want pure Star Trek shitposting.

Opposite to the last thread, let's see where to send people now that communities like !asklemmy@lemmy.world have temporary rules preventing discussing about US politics

!52weeksofart@lemmy.world

I enjoyed participating in inktober, and seeing what everyone else made. I want to keep using prompts, but in a broader way than ink52.

We'll begin the first week of January. For now, if you visit the community, I'm soliciting ideas for prompts. That can include a subject, but it can also be a technique, medium, color, or any other kind of inspiration. All types of visual art are welcome. Hope to see you there.

!originalpoetry@literature.cafe

I've wanted to start this community for a while. I feel a lack of original writing on Lemmy. Poetry tends to be short form and more accessible to many.

I intend to post my own writings, including some of my most personal stuff; writings not a single soul has seen. I would love to have you all join in, as lurkers, as posters, as poets, as enthusiasts. I look forward to seeing this community grow!

A place to share and make fun of silly comic panels. But not ones that are intentionally funny. Golden age comics are the best for this, but there are later ones too.

Think of it is as Mystery Science Comics 3000.

Made this mostly because I've found putting RSS feeds into Lemmy useful since my doom-scrolling has reduced to just Lemmy and figured I'm probably not the only person that'd find this useful.

It's pulling 6 RSS feeds that provide free games for Steam, Gog, Epic, and Humble.

Nothing shockingly world-changing, but hey, free games.

This is so weird. In a comment, I can make a link to it that's visible from other communities. But not in the body of the post.

Hi! I've made a few communities, and admittedly they aren't new. However, I think it's finally time to at least try to promo them. The last time I tried to do that here, my app freaked out. I'm doing this on PC now, so here goes:

-- !high_quality_gifs@lemmy.sdf.org - exactly what it sounds like. Hoping to get that kind of thing churning on Lemmy

-- !trans_voice_help@lemmy.blahaj.zone - A resource for people with voice dysphoria

-- !linux_video_editing@lemmy.sdf.org - A place to discuss all things video editing from a Linux/FLOSS perspective. This does tie back into making high quality gifs for Lemmy

I know I'm kinda biased, but I think these communities are needed. Especially !linux_video_editing@lemmy.sdf.org and !trans_voice_help@lemmy.blahaj.zone .

And, um, I guess for the other 2 people on the fediverse that this is relevant to there is !everquest_memes@lemmy.sdf.org
