Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Similar small Lemmy communities need to merge to survive. (lemm.ee)

Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won't be active.

First i'll preface this by saying: I'm new to this whole Lemmy thing, but just searching for 'watches' and looking at the communities it listed, there's:

https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] - the biggest one.

https://lemmy.world/c/watchescirclejerk - the circlejerk.

https://lemmy.world/c/vintagewatches - vintage stuff, at least some posts.

https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] - affordable, looks quite dead...

https://lemmy.world/c/highendwatches - high end, no posts...

https://lemmy.world/c/chinesewatches - Chinese watches, again no users as far as I can tell...

https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicalwatches - mechanical watches, nothing happening here...

I've also seen watches posted elsewhere, but again... I'm quite new to this whole thing.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

One tip on markdown formatting, you need to add two spaces at the end of a line for it to respect your manual line breaks.
