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.

Yes apparently people still do, I personally used it for a while for the points and when the AI was first released, but then stopped using it as I felt it wasn't exactly the best browser for privacy

I tried it when I got a Surface Go 3, but it's such a buggy mess I couldn't keep using it. And this is on Microsoft's own hardware.

I use Edge for work and its vertical tabs are just fantastic.

I used it since it got out up until a month ago. It was way better than chrome in terms of performance and overall usability, but as time went they tried to shove more and more products like always suggesting to switch to bing as a default search engine (when the fuck will you give up on that?!) so it drove me crazy.

I'm using brave now but I guess every chromium browser is better than chrome at this point imo.

I still use Firefox. I tried Edge when I got a Surface Go 3, because of all the power saving features and S mode, but it was buggy and left garbage all over the screen.

I do on my work computer, bc I don’t really have another choice there. But as it’s chromium based it’s actually not that big of a pain in the ass to use compared to internet explorer back then. But in my personal life I would still never use it
