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.

practical healthspan community introductory pinned post

Welcome to Practical Healthspan

Live long and prosper.

Hey — I’m glad you’re here. Practical Healthspan is a space to talk about health in the everyday: better sleep, food that works for you, moving a bit (or a lot), managing stress, staying connected, and trying small experiments. No hype. No pressure. Just what works, backed by science when possible, and real stories when not.


What to expect

  • Friendly, curious vibes. We ask questions, share what we try, and learn together.
  • When we talk about studies or protocols, we label what kind of evidence it is. If it’s your experiment, we say so.
  • Be respectful. Critique ideas, not people. No “one-right way” energy.
  • We’re not medical advice. If something’s serious, talk to actual professionals.

If you’re new to the Fediverse / Lemmy please check out some of the links in the community description


Weekly threads you’ll see

  • Motivation Monday – What are you focusing on this week, health-wise?
  • Study Sunday – We dig into a research paper, pull out takeaways, and a small practical nudge.
  • Habit Check-In – Mid-week or end-of-week: what habits worked, what didn’t, what you’ll tweak.
  • Food-Prep Friday – Share recipes, meal ideas, what’s helping you eat better without stressing.
  • Tools & Gadgets – If you tried a new sleep tracker, app, kitchen gear, etc., share what worked or was meh.
  • Reflection Friday – What experiments or changes you tried this week, what surprised you, what next.

Quick rules (so we all feel good here)

  1. Be kind. Ideas over insults. No shaming someone’s body, food, choices.
  2. If you’re making claims, try to provide sources. If it’s from personal experience, label it.
  3. No medical advice. If you are discussing medication, serious health conditions, etc., recommend professional help.
  4. Disclose conflicts / affiliations (if you’re selling something, promoting something, etc.).
  5. No spam. Keep the vibes helpful.

There are other communities for discussion of COVID-19, but none really on this topic.

As someone who still masks and isolates, I can't imagine I'm the only one, and I'm guessing there are enough people with relevant things to talk about to make an active community.

https://lemmy.world/c/IndepthIndie

[email protected]

In Depth Indie is my attempt at creating an online community as tight-knit as your local music scene, for fans and musicians alike.

I myself am a musician and guitar tutor. I'm hoping to encourage activity way beyond song sharing. I'd like to put together contests, giveaways and collabs.

I used to do community projects as an animator just over a decade ago on NewGrounds/StickPage (if anyone knows the latter). Those refreshed the community we had on StickPage and actually even got sponsored on both those sites, which was nice. Must've been doing something right!

Long story short, I'd like to bring back that early-ish internet vibe, when forums were in the spotlight and we actually remembered each other's (nick)names! :) If you were there for it, you know what I mean. If you weren't around yet, you're gonna love it!

So come on down to In Depth Indie and TALK about your favorite bands, TELL us about your favorite shows, DESCRIBE the song you made and make some REAL (online) friends! haha

The core aim is to never just drop a link and run away! :)

P.S. As long as the community is small, I pinky swear to not let a single post go neglected. If no one interacts with your post, I will.

It’s called [email protected] and it’s a safe haven for everyone! You can vent, post memes, and chat about general things. Also, you have to be kind to others there. You can also post about LGBTQ+ stuff considering it’s a rainbow haven...

Screengrabs (piefed.social)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have created a new community for sharing aesthetically pleasing screengrabs from movies, tv and video games.

Wasn’t too sure about the name. Other possibilities would have been: screenshots, screencaps, moviestills, mediastill, filmstills but the latter ones are too restricting so i picked screengrab as it’s also fun to say. :)

New Communities

19593 readers
512 users here now

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.
