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 or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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.

I could be wrong on this, but that looked like it was more about discussing Loops, the project. Seemed like would be annoying to spam it with lots of videos from loops
Well it's a new community, so there is no clear path for now, but I get what you're saying, i should have made a better description !
Based on some of the comments so far, some people really don't like the videos, so it's probably good to have separate communities for discussion of Loops vs posting loops. People can block this community and still subscribe to [email protected]
Seems like a good idea then, i'll update the bio and link to your community :)
Seems like a neat idea. Do you know if it's possible to embed loops videos in a Lemmy post? I just browsed the community a bit, and I think I would enjoy it more if I didn't have to click twice on every post.
That's a good question, I'll try embedding them. I know Loops is planning on Fediverse integration and I imagine at some point everything will gel nicely, but there's no ETA on that integration that I'm aware of.
Please just use [email protected] and not [[email protected]]()
I was told on another post that doing it this way works better for mbin users 🤷
Is there one format to rule them all?
No.
If you wanted to get the majority, you'd use the way I mentioned.
Or you can just have two links, one for lemmy (the way I've done it) and one the way you've done it for mbin/kbin users.
Does it take a while to get the email after signing up? I tried to create an account. I find the tiktok experience interesting enough to try but was always put off by how intrusive their algorithm seemed.
Edit: just got my email, only about an hour so not bad!
It took me a few hours to get the email. I saw somewhere that they're sending out ~1 email/sec.
For better or worse, there's currently 0 algorithm. You can have any algorithm you want, as long as it's "Newest". I sort Lemmy like that anyways so it's great for me. No idea if they've got other algorithms planned.
Short form videos make me want to boil my head then eat my poached brain with a spoon tbh
Best avoid shite like that if you care about your attention span oh look a squirrel
Neat!!
Eh... Midwest. social is run by a power tripping disrespectful person.
I haven't had any negative interactions with him. I know over on this post about the doxxing of Nick Fuentes, he edited the post to add "Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.", but I see that as an advantage of the Fediverse vs Reddit. Instance admins can decide what their instance allows, instead of everyone needing to follow what's socially acceptable to advertisers.
What did they do?
I’m not familiar with midwest.social, what did the person running it do?
