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.

Semen Retention (SR) lemmy.world/c/semenretention

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce a community I just created. Please feel free to join or mod if you would like. The forum is relating to the practice of semen retention. This is NOT a NoFap forum, SR is less focused on women and the material benefits and more focused on self-improvement and energetic aspects.

If you are interested, please feel free to join over at /c/semenretention (@lemmy.world) or ask any questions you may have. I will also make a Q/A thread on the forum where you can direct any questions you may have.

Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to your support!

Here is some brief information from the forum sidebar:

“SR is an ancient practice used by a small percentage of the male population worldwide. SR provides many benefits that are extremely useful to men regardless of your age, social or financial situation. The purpose of this forum is to discuss the physical and spiritual benefits of retaining.”

What is Semen Retention? Semen retention is the voluntary practice of abstaining from ejaculation, either through sexual activity or self-stimulation. It is rooted in ancient traditions like Taoism and has gained notice in modern times due to its potential physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.

SR can allow for 1) sexual energy cultivation and transmutation towards your goals, 2) self improvement and 3) spiritual progress among many others.

I've only heard of this in connection to conspiracy theory esque miracle cures. But if you're just promoting less masturbation, I'm all for it.

[–] kaxora 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for your comment. The practice and results may vary from person to person. It's certainly not a miracle cure, but the general finding is that when our bodies are not ejaculating, they are not constantly needing to produce semen which is a very nutrient- and energy-intensive process. As a result, we have more consistent levels of energy and a more stable emotional state.

If you are interested, please check it out!

This post has been reviewed and it was noticed that you are breaking an important rule. This post will be taken down and restored once a Content Warning as added. The reasoning is "Not every member of the community will appreciate controversial or explicit posts so use Content Warnings very liberally."

This is done by adding the NSFW tag, as that counts as a Content Warning from what I read on this platform.

Please review: https://mastodon.world/about as lemmy.world uses the same TOS and rules at the moment.

[–] kaxora 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you anyway for taking a look and commenting! It's interesting to hear your perspective, and I'm glad you could at least learn about it as a concept.
