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.

!bunnies and https://lemmy.world/c/bunnies in case the first link didn't work.

This community isn't new—in fact it was posted here 5 months ago. It seemed to have contributors awhile back but I've also been the only poster for 3 months so I figured it might be worth advertising here again!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !rabbits@lemmy.world

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 2 points 11 months ago

Sounds good, only trouble is I'm not a mod.

[–] hersh 6 points 11 months ago

!bunnies@lemmy.world

[–] notepass@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

YES PLEASE BUNNIES. Was searching for an active board.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hefner bunnies or those boring fur balls?

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if this is a joke or a legitimate question. I'm on a Kbin fork, not Lemmy, so not sure if you get the rabbit preview picture.

If it was a legit question… it's the "boring fur balls". If it was Playboy Bunnies there'd probably be a lot more stuff about "sexy" and "lady" or "woman" in my description, and nothing about "owners" because I'm not sure Playboy goes to that level of kink. Wouldn't actually know, I'm a woman with no sexual interest in other women, so I've never looked.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was a legitimate question with quite an amount of joke in it. There is a group about rabbits already in existence IIRC, so I was not sure if this was a real idea to have a bunny in addition to the rabbit group (is there actually a difference?), or if bunny was something, well, totally different.

And no,.I did not see any pictures.

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is the rabbit group lemmy.world/c/rabbits? I was totally unaware that existed until another commenter pointed it out.

And thanks for clarifying!

Is the rabbit group lemmy.world/c/rabbits?

I think that was it.

I was totally unaware that existed until another commenter pointed it out.

That's what services like sub.rehab and Lemmy Explorer are for.

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I actually did use sub.rehab when first coming here, although it may not be obvious by my account history because this is a third account (migrated from kbin.social to kbin.cafe to help out with decentralization/not overloading the big server, now I'm on kbin.run because the instance owner of kbin.cafe disappeared). Searching again today gives only a Squabble link when I look for r/rabbits or r/bunnies alternatives. I can do nothing to fix this because submitting links is currently disabled.

This is the first I'm hearing about Lemmy Explorer, possibly because I'm a Kbin (well, now Mbin, a Kbin fork, because my instance owner swapped to that. Currently trying to find a small instance with an active owner that still runs Kbin, so not the big flagship kbin.social) user. Thank you for sharing.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You're welcome.

I have a number of accounts across the lemmyverse, too. Not as sock puppet accounts, as one idiot claimed, but as some instances actually offer different content.
