New Communities
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 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.

Huh, that's odd. Ok, this one is the one that spun off of Risa: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. I'm not sure I have seen the other one, can you link here?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Honestly I can't find it now, but then again im not sure which instance it was actually? I was searching on .world. Ill be blunt I still only kinda get how lemmy works lol i just scroll and shitpost. But it was definitely something to the effect of '10 forward where everyone knows your name'
I think you're referring to [email protected]
In Alexandrite, it's shown like this:
uhh..i can't find the other one either but i swear there were 2 just a few days ago. maybe the other agreed about there being one too many?
someone else has to remember this please tell me im not crazy mandella plz leave me alone :(
That's not the one you're looking for, huh? Best of luck! I hope someone remembers what community that one is.
oh wait! the pics didn't load and honesly i didn't click because i could have sworn the everyone knows your name was part of the url. yep thats it.
Hahahaha~! Well, glad to have helped you then!
It's kinda screwy anyways, I would have also thought it's part of the URL myself had I not checked the community on its home instance before.
Got ya. Like I said iono i have not really bothered to learn how lemmy works all that well i just kinda float around in a haze between all the instances i guess.
Yep. Plus how it's rendered depends on which frontend you're using. I'm using Alexandrite, and I swear, the way it shows the name of the community makes you think that the tagline or whatever it is is indeed part of the community name (it's not). So, yeah, it's not really your fault, as far as I see it.
Of course, however, learning how Lemmy works is pretty helpful in situations like this, but we all kinda learn it as we go.
If the stars align just right I get some dank memes. Got it.
