New Communities
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:
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.

A lot of the anime-related communities have consolidated over time to the ani.social instance. There are historical reasons for this (largely due to hostility from the ml admins), and if you want a brief history for just the general anime community, I previously wrote a post here.
That being said, the ani.social instance has been growing with new communities being added. Here are the more active ones:
General Communities
Series-Specific Communities
- [email protected] - Delicious in Dungeon community
- [email protected] - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End community
- [email protected] - My Deer Friend Nokotan community (currently airing show)
- [email protected] - Dan Da Dan community (show airs this fall)
- [email protected] - Dragonball community
Misc.
- [email protected] - Very new community just started by @[email protected] about vocaloids. Check it out!
- [email protected] - Community to discuss and share videos from and about vtubers
- [email protected] - Community about Japanese voice actors behind the scenes
Thank you for the list!
[email protected] -- people mostly post fan art these days, but discussion of anything anime-adjacent (anime/manga/VN/hentai/etc.) is explicitly allowed too. In the past I've posted amusing/interesting stills from shows I was watching, custom image composites, screenshot comics, and things like that.
[email protected] -- "A community for sharing relatable real-life situations depicted in anime."
