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.

Is this a thread for recommending communities that aren't politics, news, memes, or tech? If so, here's some comic-related communities:

And a few other miscellaneous communities:

Indeed, that's the spirit, thanks for the links!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

dropping an Oglaf link without a warning is gonna make for a fun time on public transit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Good call, edited to add a warning

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. I appreciate this kind of post.

All to easy to have a feed full of doom.

I made some interesting discovery but (and it is a big but), BUT where are the animals! Lemmy has so many of them:

[email protected] is actually better than its Reddit counter part

We have [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] and !cats@addAnyInstance and cute animals at [email protected] and [email protected] and insects at [email protected]. We have a [email protected] and a collection of [email protected] and so much more...

Superbowl has some excellent posts, and I’m like not even an owl guy (whatever that means.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yes... I also love the comics there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Self-plug: [email protected], also active, posts don't overlap with [email protected]

Also [email protected], though I don't run that one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

We never got enough bunnies and snakes usually make beautiful pictures!

Thanks for tan eggs! I never knew I needed this! xD

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd like to see more niche communities take off. I want to talk home recording studio, but even if I start it, no one joins.

[–] can 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please do! We're slightly more active over at [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Subbed. I just bought a m audio m- track solo. I'm currently debating using waveform, Cakewalk, or reaper. Maybe I'll make a post

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Go for it!

Also.... Reaper.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

There is [email protected], maybe you can try to post there to see if people are still interesting? Something as small as "how is everyone doing lately with their home studios" could start a discussion

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ew, a .ml comm

@[email protected] s recommendation for [email protected] is much better

Let's not grow anymore .ml communities

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, I share the feeling. For some reason the SJW community was not showing up in lemmyverse.net

[–] can 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Ah, that's promising!

Saving, to continue returning.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Thanks, a couple of new subs, and since laughs from Dad jokes, as well as groans from my wife...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

May I plug my community? [email protected] would love more conversation. No current politics allowed :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Feel free! Didn't know about Heinlein, looks like an interesting author!

When you write them with an @ in front, you are referencing a user. A community is a Lemmy concept and you have to prepend them with a !.

The desire paths one 😍

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[email protected] is cool and unique. Not as active lately though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did something happen to the main poster?

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

Yeah they had to focus on their studies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't the last post 4 months ago?

No worries, hopefully BBQ enthusiasts will see this post.

If there aren't enough, you can always cross-post your next post to [email protected]

[–] the_crotch 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well BBQing is traditionally an American thing and it's winter in the northern hemisphere

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

Time to find some Australian BBQers!

You are a treasure to have on the Fediverse, we are fortunate to have you helping so much:-).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Since others shared their own communities, here's my simple one, looking for your stories:

[email protected]

Come by to share what made you happy!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing! You might consider [email protected], it's also positive / chill content is is quite active

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

Already part of it!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Not new but there's [email protected] if you like bikes, ebikes, boards, motorcycles, etc.

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

In case anyone's still checking here for recommendations, here's a few more reasonably active communities:
