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
Nope, it’s a small personal gaming discord with about 20 or so people mostly from Australia. Most didn’t join and I don’t think many of them stuck around after a few days.
I doubt all 2k have upvoted posts, isn’t it just people who click on a link and visit the community? Which I don’t think is as rare as you think. I bet I could see even higher numbers if I made a meme community. Trending things isn’t super hard, and once you get that you get viewers.
Active users count users who votes, posted or commented. Visiting is not enough.
Indeed, but memes are a very popular type of content. News, not so much.
On the other hand, I had a look at https://lemmy.world/post/20721206 and that might explain where the users come from.
On other topics
I post trending news from Anime_Titties, so stuff I knew would be well received.
As for your questions, I’m happy take on mods. I’ve had like two reports on a China post so far, so not in a huge rush but as it grows I will need them.
As for instance, I don’t think they do. I can message them after work and check, I know the site is funded for at least 2 years though.
That would be nice. People come and go, and it's always good to have at least one other person who can take over if the main mod goes missing.
For the admins, that's even more critical. If the instance disappears overnight, the community is lost forever.
That's why I asked why you didn't join !globalnews@lemmy.zip, Lemmy.zip is always very transparent on how they are doing: https://lemmy.zip/post/22004722
Also, your instance only has 11 users total, with 2 users this week, 3 this month, what made you choose it?
Reddthat.com is a quite established Australian based instance with 287 monthly users
