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:

[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.

Not going to lie, I got banned so I made my own World News Community. This community differs because there's no silly bot, I'll happily listen to the communities voice, and we're a bit more lax on rules policing.

Feel free to come on by and comment. I would love to foster a News community that's active in discussion.

Active users count users who votes, posted or commented. Visiting is not enough.

I bet I could see even higher numbers if I made a meme community.

Indeed, but memes are a very popular type of content. News, not so much.

On the other hand, I had a look at https://lemmy.world/post/20721206 and that might explain where the users come from.

On other topics

  • do you plan to have other mods as well?
  • quokk.au currently only has one admin, do you know if they plan to add other admins? If not, the risk of the instance disappearing over night is something to consider: https://feddit.uk/post/17835033

I post trending news from Anime_Titties, so stuff I knew would be well received.

As for your questions, I’m happy take on mods. I’ve had like two reports on a China post so far, so not in a huge rush but as it grows I will need them.

As for instance, I don’t think they do. I can message them after work and check, I know the site is funded for at least 2 years though.
