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

I've just created [email protected]. It is similar to [email protected] but the other way around.
Text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.
Links:
It's hilarious to me, that "safety first" is written second
I think I understand the intention but this seems easy to read?
So is don't dead, open inside, but it still became a thing.
It's worth noting that [email protected] is also similar and around.
Thanks! Added it to the sidebar.
While I usually advise to try and make larger communities instead of fragmenting, I think this is a fun subtle difference to split them up with lol
You could coordinate with the other mods to link to each other
Tagging @[email protected] and @[email protected] for their thoughts. Can we mutually link to each other's communities in the sidebar?
sure :3
It's not similar... it literally is dontdeadopeninside??
Yeah, idk, seems to me this way too
Are you unclear on the difference between the two formats, or do you think the differences are insufficient to warrant separate communities?
The original r/dontdeadopeninside had clearly defined distinctions between formats. I thought it would be nice to have both on Lemmy :)
The original DDOI subreddit specified that it was one way in the rules (at least at first, may have changed) , therefore it made sense to have a community for the inverse. If the small community on this small platform doesn't have such a rule then IMO they aren't different enough to warrant separate communities.
Let's worry about creating a niche-within-a-niche after we have enough users to keep the content flowing. Like others have said, these kinds of posts are perfectly admissible on the existing community and there is no real reason to split them at this point in time.
I was never on Reddit so I wouldn't know, but I just don't think there's enough content to fill multiple communities. I might very well be wrong though
For a "don't dead, open inside", the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.
For a "no safety, smoking first", the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.
Who cares what the order is. This is not needed.
The problem is that the ship picture would be perfectly acceptable on dontdeadopeninside tho
Would it? A true "dontdeadopeninside" reads correctly top to bottom, and incorrectly left to right. The other way around is a "nosafetysmokingfirst". They are very different formats :)
That sub wasn't about technicalities but about signs with an easily confused word order. Yours absolutely qualifies.
No, they aren't. The rule on the community is not that specific:
Images of text-designs, that are barely readable due to the placement of the words or letters
Also, the stats on that community:
Remind me again why we're creating a competing community to suck the life out of one that barely gets any posts?
I don't see any crew in the shot. Guess everyone was smoking.
Yay, I missed this one.
Instant sub, cheers.
