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/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.

I have some communities, being in one place is easier. :)

Completely agree with that, but you’re not expecting me to mod various communities changing accounts and instances all the time, do you?

You don't need to change accounts to moderate communities on different instances.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 2 points 3 years ago

You need to create the community from a lemmy.film account but then you can make your main a mod. They could've made it easier

Gif doesn't play on Sync. Anybody know, what the issue could be?

Sync displays a static webp, perhaps Sync doesn't support animated webp yet?

It doesn't work on Infinity either.

I like how the dude in the middle daintily places his head on his hands at the end.

I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time...

But no, just jpg...

Oh, it's not even not-a-joke in the way I thought. 🤣 Don't mind me, I'll just turn and face the wall for a bit...

Edit: OK, that's a great gif!

[–] Steve@communick.news 2 points 3 years ago

It's not a gif actually. It's a webp!
