A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.
1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities 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.

There’s also https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] on lemmy.ml
kbin has their own https://kbin.social/m/pixelart
Thanks so much! I’ve subbed to all of them. So that first link actually lets me sub to the on in the OP?
Yeah, but due to federation being somewhat slow, the kbin link shows much fewer posts. I’m not sure how exactly it works, but apparently we have to wait until posts arrive.
Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it.
More-generally, if you see something of this form:
[email protected]
Where the community above is:
[email protected]
You can just plonk that into the search field in kbin, and it'll bring up a page where you can subscribe to it.
You can also link directly to the search -- and doing so apparently also works on lemmy servers, since the URL format is the same:
[Search link](/search?q=pixelart%40lemmyloves.art)
Yields:
Incredibly helpful. Thanks!
