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:

!community@instance.com

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.

Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

Not exactly a new community, but the German me_irl, ich_iel, has moved from feddit.de to feddit.org after the instance admin disappeared. It can now be found here: !ich_iel@feddit.org

Well done guys with the migration!

Shameless self promo, UK specific shitposts:

Are you tired of clickbait and the current state of journalism? This community is meant to remind you that excellent journalism still happens. While not sticking to a specific topic, the focus will be on high-quality articles and discussion around their topics.

If you're into daily word/puzzle games that tickle your brain, I have a few communities to suggest!

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 month ago

I'd like to get more tabletop rpg content back on ttrpg.network if possible. So in that spirit, just want to remind people that

!dndnext@ttrpg.network !rpg@ttrpg.network

Both exist

For anything health related - !health@lemmy.world

[–] Emotional_Series7814@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

!knitting@lemmy.world

!obsidianmd@lemmy.world

Might not have activity from yesterday but if you post people definitely reply

Animals:

!bunnies@lemmy.world !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org (I promise this is about the animal, not the conservative American news network) !snakes@lemmy.world

I have been told before [!communityname@instancename.com](/c/communityname@instancename.com) style links do not work for everyone and that [link name](/c/communityname@instancename.com) works for others, so:

bunnies@lemmy.world bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org snakes@lemmy.world

Feel free to add more, these are just the animals I personally like enough to have sought out a Fediverse community for them

For anything Mad Max related: !madmax@midwest.social

Edit: and the community is not empty, why does Lemmy keep persisting T_T

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing, the last post I see is from 9 days ago, is this correct?

Small reminder from the OP 😄

please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
