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:

[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.

Based on the "inaccessible" tag, seems like a few of them are down

Edit: also, there seems to be quite similar communities (e.g. the strategy ones), they should maybe consider merging for the time being

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Based on the best of post, at least 12 have been active in the last month: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/31494874

Inaccessible will be the server down. I can see two of those, both feddit.de.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Most of the strategy ones haven't been active for around a year.

That's why I usually prefer this kind of threads, Lemmy communities come and go, it's usually quite difficult to maintain an updated inventory

Both links work for me. Maybe no one from feddit.org has subscribed yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Good to know, thanks !

Seems to be an Mbin instance, maybe that's why

This is what the main gaming communities should be IMO.Games Journalism is boring clickbait , talking about games is fun.
