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.

This is not exactly a new community, but it is one I created a few months ago and it is currently dead. Hopefully you guys help me with that:

This is a community for frisson inducing content.

What is frisson?

Frisson is a phenomenon that causes a sensation of chills or tingling on the skin of the lower back, shoulders, neck, and/or arms. It can be triggered by experiences with music, poetry, videos, beauty in nature or art, eloquent speeches, and the practice of science.

I feel like frisson is a personal thing, and not something I can hop into themed community and get an unlimited supply of. Thinking back on what has caused frisson for me, there's always been a memory or emotion linked with the trigger.

If someone posted a song that effected them, it probably won't do much for anyone else because they won't be walking in with the same touching memory of OP''s mother.

Perhaps the fun is in sharing what caused it to you instead of getting it yourself. I'd be curious to know what causes it to other people, after all it's something that's very intimate and rarely comes up in conversation.

I disagree with this. Sure, some things are personal, but some things are very likely to give you shivers. For example, this version of creep from The voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

All 4 judges got shivers. Everyone to whom I showed this video got shivers. There is no "memory or emotion linked with the trigger". It is just harmonies that for some reason, are shiver inducing.

Then we will continue to disagree. Those girls did nothing for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I disagree with the other comments. I am subscribed to frisson on reddit and just subscribed here as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, the only thing I can think of that reliably triggers this sensation is fingernails on chalkboard.

[–] wit 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What about this audition from the voice. Does it not give you shivers?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

Honestly no. It’s impressive, but not frisson. Maybe because this isn’t a musical genre that I know or like.

Now, a superb performance of JS Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D-minor” might do it.
