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/community@instance.com)
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.

MODERATORS
It's how you're supposed to make links. I've tried a lot to fix people's messed up links for them in photon, but it ends up breaking other stuff
So which one, the Photon's way? (I guess yes).
Should the Lemmy-ui change the way it creates links so that those can be used by other front-ends?
Well links are supposed to be just !community@instance.url, but for some reason people keep making it an actual markdown link which is not what you're supposed to do. It's like Reddit's r/community. You dont need a markdown link.
If my link in the OP was wrong, I just got it by clicking on the community name in the dropdown suggestion.
If that's an issue, probably something to report to lemmy ui
