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/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

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.

That seems very specific!

Is this the PS2/GC game I'm thinking of from the early 2000s? Did it end up getting ported to PC/newer consoles?

Is there a scene these days that does speedruns or competitive or something?

[–] Bismyth@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yes, it's the PS2/GC game from the early 2000's. As far as I am aware the scene is pretty much completely dead. The latest re-release was on the Nintendo Switch on the 28th of March 2019, and someone submitted a new WR 5 months ago on the Xbox Series S. So there's still a pulse, but not much of one lol. This game just has a special place in my heart and I wanted to see if anyone else here actually remembers it or still holds the same reverence for it as I do

I feel like a post in one of the general gaming comms may have sufficed. I can’t see enough extended interest or content to get people to sub to an entire comm about a very niche dead game.

[–] emb@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Love the passion! And best of luck with it!

But generally I'll say I haven't seen individual game communities do well here, even for popular series. So set expectations accordingly.

[–] Bismyth@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I appreciate the heads-up, and honestly the original reddit community was pretty much completely dead as well, so I'm not really expecting much to come of it. I'm mainly creating this and some other communities here because there are subreddits dedicated to them, but since I don't want to use reddit I'm creating them here instead. Whether they're much busier if at all is not an expectation for me, i'd just like to centralize my communities here moving forward ^-^

[–] emb@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Welcome, glad to have you here on fediverse! Always nice to see another person posting here instead of Reddit.

The crowd is much smaller here, so each person's contributions make a bigger difference!

Niche communities you start, will probably be only you posting. But that's OK. I'd say don't be afraid to cross-post to larger ones.

[–] Bismyth@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

I appreciate that! I'm not sure which communities I could cross-post cel-damage content to, but I like that that's a native feature.
