I created a community for posting about the Peanuts comic you're probably familiar with. The comic was created by Charles M. Schulz, born in Minneapolis, MN, and ran from 1950 to 2000. The cast of characters will get quite large, but I'm posting daily strips starting from the first comic from 1950, so you can come watch as everyone gets introduced. Right now there's a lot of cute Snoopy going on.

Thanks for doing this! I’ve really enjoyed the early comics so far!

!peanuts@midwest.social for Mbin

[-] m_f@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

Is that a different format than the link I edited in? I don't use mbin, so not sure if it handles things differently

[-] andrew_s@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

If you type a ! link using lemmy-ui, it auto-completes it so that MBIN sees it as an absolute link to the community on midwest.social (Blaze's link is without the auto-complete). Lemmy, like Mastodon, can be a bit "fuck you if you aren't us" at times.

Why is autocompletion to an absolute link even still a thing? I thought Lemmy supports relative links now.

Makes sense, thanks!

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:

!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.
