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.

Does lemmy.world federate with midwest.socal? Searching for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) on lemmy.world returns no results ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

edit: testing link

You're guess is as good as mine. I really wish there was a list in each instance for this reason. However, I've had the same issue before and I found that just searching at a different time fixes things.

[โ€“] ForynGilnith 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks - I'll keep searching. Either way, I used to be really into growing and propagating succulents, so maybe this will get me back into the hobby!

Click the "Instances" link at the bottom of the page and it will show all the instances you're federated with and which ones are blocked. It looks like lemmy.world is federated with you, but no one from there has connected with your community yet, so that's why its not showing up.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wow thank you for this! That's exactly what I was looking for! Looks like midwest.social is federated with everything except 3 instances and they're nothing too special.

you can click the Search button for the entire site lemmy.world (not search for community), and type the whole website address https://midwest.social/c/succulents , and then wait for it to find the link to the instance itself. Then you click Subscribe. It would add this to the communities search for lemmy.world if no one had added it yet
