Just me that feels like using "porn" in the community titles is a bit childish, was hoping that would stay a reddit thing tbh
The whole sfw.community instance is aimed at "SFW Porn" communities. It's less about "serious" discussion and more for sharing pictures/videos with little depth.
Yeah I get that, but surely other words could have been used instead? Might just be being old..
I hesitated a bit before setting them up, but to be honest I couldn't find any other term to express the idea of "something made to provide a visually appealing simulacrum of a topic without requiring any actual interest/ability in doing the real thing".
Just the word "porn" doesnt really play well with alot of feditravelers
Pictures. Memes. Anarchy.
There's a few ways communities have signaled that the rules don't require a thesis for every post.
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
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.
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
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.
