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.

MODERATORS
If you think that posting about any reasonably important project is important, then fine. But then again, I'd reason that the people that share your belief would already be to the relevant RSS feeds, no? Maybe the whole thing that you are trying to do could be replaced with a "PSA" style post, where you link a OPML list of RSS feeds from the projects that are worth tracking?
Prior to the posts being deleted, their scores were overwhelmingly positive. It just so happens that some people weren't appreciative and that's fine. Not everything is for everyone.
I know that before I set up my N8N, I had no way of tracking releases that weren't intrusive and I know what when people posted releases, it gave me something to look into.
There was even a time when because a release was posted, when someone encountered a problem, I was able to identify it and help them. To me that's what a community is. Sharing and helping.
Even now, I'm still excited enough to watch the terminal as I do
docker-compose pullwhile I drink my tea and when things that my N8N missed pop up, I rush like an excited child to tell people that an update for something they may be running is out. And since the other self hosted communities don't appreciate it, why wouldn't I create one that does?Too much of a good thing can still be bad. I made the same mistake with the alien.top bots.
Indeed, but I'm not a bot. I'm a human. But ultimately, that's why I made a new community, so no one who doesn't want to deal with it, doesn't have to feel like their space was hijacked to facilitate it.
