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/community@instance.com)
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.

This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
if someone plays jrpg's maybe take a look at !jrpg@lemmy.zip and maybe share something about the last game you played.
A couple fandom communities:
- !nokotan@ani.social - Currently airing show, has weekly discussion threads
- !dandadan@ani.social - Show that will be airing this fall, has threads for manga chapters
- !frieren@ani.social - Show that aired a couple months back, currently mostly fanart posts
- !dungeonmeshi@ani.social - Show that aired a couple months ago, currently mostly fanart posts
- !seiyuu@ani.social - Community to discuss Japanese anime voice actors behind the scenes and share clips
Thanks for the "mostly fanart posts" disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that's what !episode_discussion@ani.social is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!
By the way @Don_Dickle@lemmy.world, feel free to post to !movies@lemm.ee as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced
!animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
!dubstep@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Migrated the dubstep community to a different instance but will still be very much active, I will be posting 2 releases per day, prioritising new releases where I can.
Please also join in if you like some wubs :)
Nice!
Where was it, and why the switch?
Was on .world. Main points were to minimise centralisation of communities on .world and to maximise the number of people who can see the community based on some defederation and dislike of .world.
Thanks Blaze for supplying a link :)
Glad to see more efforts to move off world. Are world and dbzer0 federated with each other again? I recall they weren't at some point.
They always were, it was just one community (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) which was blocked from LW
For casual discussions and real life topics
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com post your bad experiences with mods.
Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable
*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.
Ah, stirring indeed, thanks!
I might post it later, we'll see
!hydroponics@slrpnk.net
Its a little slow to start and I'm writing my second post there now but I mod https://lemmy.world/c/tftt
Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.
Interesting, couldn't that type of content be also posted to !rpg@ttrpg.network ?
I have no idea, maybe
Lemmy is still small, so it's usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.
Anyway, good luck!
Is it lemmy.world? There's a typo that threw me off in the link.
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

The preseason has just begun. We were fairly active last season with several active users. We are looking for returning and new contributors for the upcoming season.
If you play fantasy football, we’d love to have you
