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:

[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.

MODERATORS
 

A bot-driven site, providing a daily list of Communities trending across the LemmyVerse, determined by growth in subscribers.

Some people have already discovered it (meaning it's currently featuring on its own list!), but I always intended to post on here once the bot had been running for a few days. Now that it has, it can average daily growth over the previous days, to better highlight consistent growth (vs. a random spurt in popularity).

It's early days, but I think it's already illustrating some interesting things: e.g. the popularity of table-top RPGs on Lemmy, the kick that "Accidental Renaissance" got from Reddit migrants, or how the sudden investment in "Antiques Memes Roadshow" threatened to break the "All" feed. There's also appearances from Communities that featured here, so it'll be intriguing to see if the likes of "Deal Malls" can stay on the list (tune in tomorrow to find out ...).

There's also a "NSFW" version (see the link in the sidebar), and a post to discuss suggestions for improving the algorithm and how the results are displayed.
