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:
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.

Serious question, not trying to offend - why do trans people who code need their space and not just use the common one? Doent this distinguish only generate more separation between the trans community and all others?
Just to add to where this question comes from: there's no difference between how trans and straight people code afaik
I also don't understand the need for safety bubbles especially on the platform lemmy which is pretty outspoken and overwhelmingly leftist. These issues should be visible to the general public to make them aware, not segregated in their own vicinity where no one else is allowed and will lead to hyperfixation and very likely discriminatory viwepoints and discussions.
I have taken a look at communities like twoXchromosomes, childfree and incel and the language they use sometimes is eerily similar to nazis and faschists. Tribalism develops really fast and it is NOT a good thing. Too many times I've read stuff like "today I completely destroyed ". In the case of twoX it was men, in incels it was women and in childfree it was moms. These communities were formed out of a legitimate point of unacceptance and ignorance by the average person but longtime segregation effects are starting to take hold. The LGBT+ is also starting to show these effects and I don't really like it tbh. I've honestly been denied entrance to publicly advertised events and happenings just because I wasn't "gay" or "queer". This will not foster acceptance. Especially not in a space where no one cares or knows what you are. I mean programming is about the most equalizing activity ever. Job environments and work teams are still suffering from ignorance but the programming itself is equal and especially online you should not segregate the community. Imo.
Yup, that's it. you explained it far better than me
