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 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.

Sure, I can give it my best shot! I may be a bit biased myself toward the CoS, so that's worth keeping in mind.
The Church of Satan is the original form of satanism (They consider themselves to be the only form of satanism). They are based on the teachings of Anton LaVey, who wrote The Satanic Bible in 1966. It is a religion formed on individualism and ritual, treating yourself as your own god, and generally has a philosophy that they adhere to. Generally, the church does not take any form of political stance itself, leaving that up to their members to decide where each of them reside. It is a religion that can apply to all spectrums of someone's opinions.
The Satanic Temple, is a leftist political activism group. They are the ones who are suing in all of these court cases you hear about. They take a very firm left stance on human rights in general, which I can commend. But in terms of an actual religion, their philosophy is pretty thin, with their tenants consisting of pretty common sense notions.
My personal issue with TST is the alleged accusations of their founder, Lucien Greaves, and a friend of his, being pretty bigoted individuals. From running a eugenics website for several years, to running a podcast where they spew hateful remarks at pretty much anyone you can think of. Also, the recent allegations that the administration is covering for sexual abusers, and have been hitting people with SLAPP suits when they come forward.
If you're interested, you can read up on someone who is getting SLAPP suited by them here
That's fantastic, thank you for all the information, I appreciate you taking the time and effort, that helps a LOT.
No problem! Glad to help!
