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.

For those that don't know, the subreddit r/Catsubs was made as a directory for all the many cat subreddits on reddit as well as a way for searching for different cat related subreddits.
I was noticing that more and more cat communities/magazines were popping up and it was getting tricky to find them all so I thought I'd recreate the Catsubs directory on Kbin!

This is unaffiliated with the subreddit, but I did talk to the subreddit mods and got the go ahead as they don't currently have any plans for leaving Reddit.

I already have a pinned comment with all the cat communities/magazines I've found with a kbin.social link as well as the search link for Kbin and Lemmy for those on different instances.

Also anyone is welcome to make a thread if you are either looking for a cat community/magazine or if you find one that I don't already have in the directory.

I'm still working on it but the basics are all good to go so come on over if you are looking for more cat communities/magazines!

Thank you for doing this, now I can more effectively manage my cat community subscriptions to get the perfect ratio of cat to everything else!
