New Communities
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.

Those three bullet points confuse me. Are they different; if so, how? Are they the same, just different notations; if so, why?
Because Lemmy doesn't have unified links yet to discussions.
Go to another instance, such as https://sh.itjust.works/post/204760
The first link is "off https://sh.itjust.works", so they don't like that link.
The 2nd link is "supposed" to be how Lemmy links work, but the software isn't there yet. I'm hoping that over the long term, the frontend / backend interprets [email protected] correctly.
The 3rd link is a hack which seems to work across the Lemmyverse. I'm not sure what the long-term support is, or if its "proper behavior" to use that link. But it works today.
The 4th link is for kbin.social, because those crazy people managed to start Federating with Lemmy.
The third link keeps crashing Jerboa. :(
Edit: so does the fourth. The second opens an email. I need a manual lol.
