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 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.

Oh I love the JPEG effect they've applied to the image, really makes it look like it's been re-saved 10,000 times since 2003.
The other results had iFunny and 9GAG watermarks on them and/or were even more deepfried with compression.
But somehow, the JPEG artifacts give this one a nice cozy feel. Seeing this ancient meme again was like meeting an old friend.
Hello JPEG, my old friend
I've come to post you again
Because a vision softly blurring
Left its compression while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the artifacts of JPEG
In restless dreams I browsed alone
Narrow memes of low quality
'Neath the halo of a monitor
I turned my eyes to the blurry screen
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a pixel light
That split the night
And touched the artifacts of JPEG
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand memes, maybe more
People reposting without sharing
People uploading without caring
People posting things that eyes once saw
And no one dared
Disturb the artifacts of JPEG
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
JPEG like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my files that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the blur of JPEG
And the people bowed and prayed
To the JPEG god they made
And the website flashed out its repost
In the words that it was compressing
And the website said, "The answer to your query
Is lost in the data
And it's all in the artifacts of JPEG"
I really enjoyed that. Thank you
Bro I remember seeing the original picture posted in 2003
Are jpg's still used today for most things? Or did they quietly die like mp3 did
I think both of those are still used extensively.
It is, but it probably shouldn't be any more. WebP has good support everywhere now and is slightly better than JPEG and PNG combined. (Better lossy compression than JPEG, plus transparency support, and better lossless compression than PNG). But even WebP is considered lame these days compared to the new crop.
E.g., JXL (JPEG XL) is much better WebP and is supported by everyone except Google (which is ironic since Google helped create it). Google seems to want AVIF to be the winner for the new image format, but not many others do.
Anyway, until the Google JXL AVIF hissy fit is dealt with, at least we've still got WebP. It's not super great, but it's at least better than JPEG and PNG. A lot of web developers are stuck in their old JPEG PNG mindset and are being slow to adapt, so JPEG is still hanging around.
When did mp3 die?
All my songs still are mp3.
At one point i reripped my entire CD collection to lossless only to find out my infotainment system in my truck does not read anything but mp3.
I found out a long time ago that I can’t hear the difference between compression levels starting at 192kbps. So there really isn’t any use for lossless for me.
How large is your collection? Did you end up converting all the files, or just buy a different truck?
I remember reading that they stopped supporting it a couple years back
The infamous they.
Um excuse me m8 could you please find me three peer reviewed journals that prove to me that mp3 is still supported
You’re making the claim that mp3 is unsupported while I listen to mp3s on my smartphone, my linux laptop and my MS laptop without issues, my friend.
Oh unsupported to me just means it doesnt recieve updates or fixes. Apparently aac kindve superseeded it
Somewhat. I'll often share a JPG over a PNG if the filesize is massive as the compression isn't too bad these days.
Although everything is moving over to WebP I think, but it's not as widespread yet.
My camera app on my phone and my screenshot tool on my computer both save as jpg by default
Is this the Sepia of the future?
