Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

A couple fandom communities:

Thanks for the "mostly fanart posts" disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that's what !episode_discussion@ani.social is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!

By the way @Don_Dickle@lemmy.world, feel free to post to !movies@lemm.ee as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced

Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Ah, stirring indeed, thanks!

I might post it later, we'll see

[-] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

!dubstep@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Migrated the dubstep community to a different instance but will still be very much active, I will be posting 2 releases per day, prioritising new releases where I can.

Please also join in if you like some wubs :)

Its a little slow to start and I'm writing my second post there now but I mod https://lemmy.world/c/tftt

Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Is it lemmy.world? There's a typo that threw me off in the link.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

!tftt@lemmy.world

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Interesting, couldn't that type of content be also posted to !rpg@ttrpg.network ?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago
[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Lemmy is still small, so it's usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.

Anyway, good luck!

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Gonna try to post more to !gameart@sopuli.xyz, more subscribers and posters welcome both.

!fantasyfootball@lemmy.world

The preseason has just begun. We were fairly active last season with several active users. We are looking for returning and new contributors for the upcoming season.

If you play fantasy football, we’d love to have you

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

Good luck! Just to clarify for readers, it's American football

New Communities

17104 readers
56 users here now

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:

!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.
