English-speaking community for anniversaries. This also includes personal events!
Rules:
- Mandatory title format: "
Xyears ago today […]", where of courseXis replaced by the number of years.X≥ 5.- English language only, but links to non-English sources are allowed if a (short) English summary is provided.
Why move instances?
I moved instances (from feddit.nl to sopuli.xyz) to avoid some… rather unpleasant users of the fediverse.
Why not post anniversary related to [topic] to community about [topic]?
I don't want to look for a fitting community every time I post an anniversary. The purpose of it is to cover a wide range of topics, kinda like the Ask Lemmy communities (but with much less potential for engagement obviously).
Why the mandatory title format?
Because a 75th anniversary is more special than a 74th anniversary, you know what I'm saying?
What about timezones?
My posts could be one day off in your timezone, your posts could be one day off in my timezone. It's fine.
The sumo community here's pretty low-volume / dormant, but things pick up a bit for the Japanese tournaments that happen several times a year. For the next couple weeks I'm going to be posting daily collections of videos about the May tournament that just started in Japan.
Imagine a pair of US football linebackers crashing against each other. But they can also slug each other in the face with open-palm strikes, do arm-locks, or throw/trip each other, and they're not wearing any padding just wrestling belts. And there's a priest urging them on, because they're really doing all this for the gods of Shinto.
Check out this intro video and then swing by the sumo community for tournament update videos! Feel free to ask questions.
A few of the space communities have been consolidated into [email protected]

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.
