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:
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.

On reddit that subreddit was easily the source of 90% of the posts I'd see about Musk.
Also real annoying people are racing to make copies of every little subreddit VS letting lemmy be it's own thing. Guess they feel they gotta get there first so they can be the powermods.
Funny, all of my echo chambers are shitting on Musk on a daily basis.
Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn't even know there was 'worship' of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.
People liked him up until a few years ago when he said he was conservative.
Well, it's more like all of the horrible decisions and broken promises he's made over the years.
Yeah but on reddit and in the news it was an overnight change. It was crazy to watch and must have been so vindicating for the enoughmuskspam squad.
People liked him until he called the cave rescuer "pedo guy"... then won a lawsuit claiming the didn't really mean that, it's just a fun thing he and other kids used to call each other in South Africa.
I have to expect that such a community will contain enough Musk spam for its subscribers.
These communities always ended up being the main source of ______ spam. Never knew if the intent was to contain content people didn't want to see to one community so people could block it, or people who didn't want to see yet were obsessed with _______ content.
Does it also provide a haven against people constantly being anti Musk? I’d prefer to see neither.
About the only thing I miss here is RES. I had so many filters set up not to see anything from that shithead, it was great.
Yeah, would make it so lot of times didn't have to deal with community level blocking, since it'd be set to block out specific keywords.
It allows musk spam to go into that community then you can block it.
Posting anti-Musk spam = Posting Musk spam
How some people can be so obsessed about one man is quite mind boggling. I would hardly know what he's up to if the people most opposed to him didn't keep me updated. Same goes with Trump.
