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.

That's it, include a link of course but otherwise it's unchanged.

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.

Dropout is a subscription service born from the ashes of College Humor. It features live-play TTRPG series, improv comedy, panel shows and more. There's a lot of their content on YouTube for free, the subscription service costs $60 a year and they encourage password sharing.

Netflix's new password-sharing rule: Every 31 days your device must log in on your home network — or it will be blocked. QT from @dropout: Dropout's new password-sharing rule: you should share your password with a friend who can't afford Dropout, because it would be nice of you 🤗

I made [email protected] and a cobbled-together open source bot so that there would always be a place on lemmy/the fediverse to discuss the twists and turns of the current Dimension 20 campaign or share laughter from the latest crazed invention of the Game Changer writers.

a place for general comedic nonsense. [almost] anything goes as long as its even tangentially funny. you may see reposts. you may see old, archaic internet shit. you may see your mom

it would behoove us all to distribute content across the 'verse

i think dr evil said it best:

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.

I hooked up a community to post new videos from Jesse Welles's Youtube channel.

Got a burning question you want to ask someone from the US like "Why is the imperial system superior" or "Why is Texas"?

You can also just chat if you don't have questions, because this is the land of the free and there are no laws 🇺🇸🦅 (there are actually, please be nice)

Since lemmy.autism.place is well and truly gone and no replacement has been found, I decided to take things upon myself to rehost the ASD memes for all my ausome peeps. Our instance is officially also about Neurodivergence anyway and we already run the very popular [email protected] for ADHD memes.

Unfortunately I couldn't salvage the memes from the old place as their image storage is gonezo, so please do repost them.

"Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. "

If you're already a fan of Oglaf, or if you just like dirty comics, join us over at [email protected]! I think the site itself best explains the style:

This comic started out as an attempt to make pornography. It degenerated into a sex comedy pretty much immediately

I'm posting old comics sequentially until we're caught up, and new comics as they're posted on Sundays.

As you might expect, a lot of the posts are NSFW. Today's daily post is SFW, so you can get a sense of the humor, even if you're at work. You shouldn't be if you're in the US, it's Thanksgiving! In honor of the webcomic, I hope you get stuffed today 😉

(This community was (still is for now) originally on an instance that has announced it is shutting down.)

Come make a silly request or participate by drawing! Or both!

Prerequisites to participate: none.

A new community that I'm hoping will take off. Please be respectful to others and feel free to post your beliefs (as long as they have the proper scientific data and logic)

[email protected] So far only one post, but I'm hoping to see more from a wide variety of different disciplines.
