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.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it's time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I would like to present [email protected], a community dedicated to identifying the cool rocks and minerals people find!

What's This Rock will be modeled on the Reddit community /r/whatsthisrock. If you have anything you would like ID'd, please post a clear photo with information about where you collected it.

Honestly, I think the idea pretty much explains itself lol.

Also, I don't have time today for an in depth back and forth as I usually would. I threw a little bomb in there about the Ohio shooting if anyone wants to get it going but I may not be able to be too much of a part of it.

Also: If you didn't hate this idea already and want to tell me I'm a pain in the ass, check this out: The whole reason behind this community is that I made a little LLM tool that can take a look at a discussion and call out bad faith in the argumentation. I'm actually pleased with how it is working in testing. But... it's weird to have it inject itself into disagreements without both participants wanting that to happen. It's like calling up your mom to tell someone you're arguing with that you are right and they need to agree with you. So, to put it into action I would like at some point to enable it in some way within this specific debate community. But I'm really not sure what that even should look like. I think probably the way to go about it is to have the community and the human participation come first, and then only after that, consult with the people there about progressing it to some kind of input from it, or moderation that is more "argue in good faith pls" and less "don't use any racism otherwise any horrendous distortion of reality is fine" as in most communities.

Edit: Someone raised I think a pretty valid point about it being offensive to have people's comments fed into an AI thing. I think consider the AI bot on hold until I can address those concerns.

Anyway, feel free to subscribe, go nuts, feel free to tell me why I am literally a sealion. Peace.

One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.

I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength training should be.

I always used to pass by the snooker community on Reddit, but since I left Reddit, and after a long time, I decided to create a community for snooker.

Not a popular sport, but I hope I can find fans and fans who recently started to watch, like me, join and discuss about snooker!

I made 2 posts + 1 pinned, and more to come!

World Championships it's on going, at the moment the tournament is semi-finals.

Meant to replace r/gamingsuggestions in spirit. Noticed [email protected] getting a decent amount of posts asking for gaming suggestions, figured having a dedicated community for them might be nice. (And if not, I can still collect and link to those posts for anyone wanting Lemmy-sourced game recommendations!)

Here i present [email protected]. It consists of shitposts of albums made up of two things

  • a badly drawn verison of the album cover
  • funny descriptions of the album track names

for example(s)

This is pretty much it, hope you enjoy shitposting albums

PS: it's a bit empty at the moment, but you can start posting, the premise is simple enough it should be easy to get onto

The communities for beauty that were existing were dead, and that way before the IPO.

I present to you all [email protected], a community themed around very big things that are bigger than one might expect. An unofficial clone of the subreddit r/AbsoluteUnits. It didn't exist Lemmy surprisingly, so here it is.

Basically, an absolute unit is either an animal, a person, an object or anything else that is bigger than it's usually expected, like a very big vegetable, a very big dog, a very big building and so on, basically anything that can be very big. Here is a more detailed explanation.

Basically if you ever encountered something bigger than normal you can post it there.

Have fun! Hope you like it!

Surprisingly, Lemmy didn't have a community for this yet.

Just wanted to let you know I've created a brand new Lemmy community: Indiasocial!

If you're an indian or someone living in india looking for a chill space for lighthearted posts, casual chats, and just generally good vibes, this is the place for you. Think of it as a Lemmy mirror of the beloved r/indiasocial.

Come on over, say hello, and let's build a fun and friendly community together! You can find it here with the post

Looking forward to seeing you there!

It has classics from Backgammon (and its multiplayer equivalent, Ludo) to Terraforming Mars and up to modern titles released this year. Many are totally free to play with just an account. Some are paywalled behind premium access, but you only need one person at the table with a premium subscription to start the game, and then everyone else can participate for free.

You can play in real time with people or turn-based across days at a dozen different virtual tables simultaneously (it notifies you, either by email or other settings, whenever it's your turn).

It handholds you through legal moves, so you can use the platform to learn new games. Some of my in-person board game purchases came from games I learned here online!
