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.

After the original mod being inactive for so long, i've asked the db0 mods for me to take this community. So, welcome back!

Rules

This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr'd to: no right wing nutjobs or tankies are allowed. As for the community rules:

  1. Be nice
  2. No bigotry/prejudice
  3. No tankies/right wingers
  4. Don't promote proprietary software
  5. Stay on topic
  6. No crypto
  7. Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!
  8. If you post news exclusive to a country please name it. (This isn't a bannable rule, but just a recommendation :) )

Why not:

Lemmy.ml

.ml is infamous for banning pretty much anyone they please. This community, while left libertarian, will allow conflicting viewpoints.

Lemmy.world

.world is too big, and has centralized a decentralized community. It simply does not fit, and is a net negative for the fediverse as a whole.

It also blocks VPNs, which goes against the essence of a privacy community.

Why dbzer0

Dbzer0 is stable, relaxed with the rules, and perfect for a topic like this.

About acknowledging that we took a wrong turn when Big Web tempted everyone into their walled gardens and setting out to reclaim it.

Any ideas for an icon and banner gracefully received.

There is now an Actually Infuriating community on Lemmy! Post things that are beyond just mildly infuriating. It's only mildly infuriating that someone didn't make this sooner!

There isn't, in my opinion, a fully ideal home for US-centric news that isn't politics.

Now there is!

Enjoy.

I started a couple of Harry Potter themed communities focused on various Harry Potter Ships, they're based off of the Subreddits with the same names, and I'm looking for some potential moderators to help manage them, as well as some potential users.

some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation

https://nodebb.org/showcase/

announcement post from [email protected] : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18545/nodebb-v4.0.0-federate-good-times-come-on

Comment below with any other NodeBB communities as people update their servers and enable federation

You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub).

One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.

Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.

That is not to say we’re interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don’t see how it’s possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.

Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: “01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in.”

Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.

There are a lot of great vampire franchises and series out there but most of them wouldn't be able to carry an entire Lemmy community by themselves. So I created [email protected] as a place to discuss any and all vampire media. Come join!

it has come to my attention that not enough people are giving me attention so please come give me attention

what to expect

  • unfiltered and unapologetic posts from yours truly chad mctruth
  • potentially endless bickering
  • a community that values critical thinking and my personal individuality
  • hard truths and uncomfortable conversations because we dont coddle people here unless they need it just ask

i only get paid $11.50/hr to moderate this community so im not opening it up to user posts until it becomes more clear to others what kind of community this is but i do plan to open it up soon so please check it out and give me attention

edit the community is now open

sick of moderation on some of the bigger instances and communities, I thought we could try hosting here, where I of course will only ever make the most correct moderation decisions.

everyone have a good laugh?

I’ll add mods but not yet. I’ll clarify rules as it becomes necessary.

I will remain the bdfl until db0 decides my incompetence is a detriment to his instance.

also looking to add some more current affairs type communities, but i think i'm rate-limited or something. if someone else wants to go ahead and make em, i'm interested!

Two Goobers is a small community to share and find cute pics that make you think of the special person in your life. Whether it be your significant other, best friend, family member, or anyone else, all types of pics are welcome.

I made this community a little while back, but wanted to fill it up some before posting it here. I have a special person in my life now, and many of the pics in the community are ones I have sent them.
