A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found 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.

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on [email protected] about [email protected] not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

Hyper centralization of communities on LW

I'm in, but mostly a lurker.

Thanks! I agree some of what's needed are more lurkers to vote up the little content that is posted, to get more folks posting.

The lemmy.ml instance has been problematic for a while largely because it’s rife with tankies, but it’s gotten a lot worse lately, and the mods and admins are going kinda crazy over there banning people and censoring stuff.

This is the fediverse working as intended. An instance gets shitty, and people migrate away from it to a better instance.

The moderation issue over there is problematic, but at the end of the day, if that’s how the .ml admins want to play it, it’s kinda their call. There’s no appeal process - they are the ultimate authority for that instance. And the user base can stay or migrate, depending on whether they want to put up with that bullshit. In a way, it’s actually kinda cool to see the theory of fediverse user migration patterns actually play out in response to real life context.

Were they talking about China on a Linux community?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Talking about China in news community, then got banned from Linux communities

Ohh now I see the issue.

Oh no, there's communists involved in my free global collaborative software project!

Tankies != Communists

Tankies == Authoritarian Communists and Stalin/Mao/etc apologists

They are very different, despite sharing a word.

Tankies are not communists

Not communists. Tankies.
