How about we get some things out of LW a bit? There is a whole instance for football at soccer.forum, waiting for more people to join in.
I pinged you on this comment 3 days ago to see what the status of soccer.forum was:
For some reason I never got the mention. Yes, soccer.forum (and pretty much all the other instances listed on !communick_news_network@communick.news) are still active and up-to-date.
Also, I'm still waiting for the official announcement, but I do have some good news regarding funding for Fediverser, so hopefully soon I will be able to resume work on the two-way bridge.
Good news!
Regarding soccer.forum, I tried to federate one of the posts (https://soccer.forum/post/soccer.forum/8983) to Reddthat, but it doesn't show up: https://reddthat.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsoccer.forum%2Fpost%2Fsoccer.forum%2F8983&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
Do you have any what could be the issue?
Probably because the url format from photon UI is different. You need to get the link from the "share" button.
Also, I don't know if noticed, but there is !fedigrow@lemm.ee that discusses growth of Lemmy, you will probably be interested
Will check it out, thank you!
Indeed, it works!
That will also get the post url from the home instance itself which is needed to federate posts.
I have a question for you: how do you find comments that mention Photon? Do you have an alerting of some sort?
I regularly search for the term "photon" because I've found lots of people mentioning bugs and the sort outside the photon community.
Makes sense, thanks!
I wish all the football communities would move over to soccer.forum
Let's get the ball rolling there. What's your team? Can you help, post some news, goals and highlights?
I'll try, but ultimately you need the likes of @astrealix@lemmy.world since he's the heart of the Arsenal community.
oh hello, yeah nah one community is enough for me lol. Also I'm honoured but I'm not the heart of the community lol, everyone contributes a good bit.
If I were to properly manage a second community it would likely be the Hong Kong one that I already have moderator status on here first lol, but I have no intention of being a powermod XD
You're already the powermod in our hearts! ❤
oh god please no, one community is plenty XD
Tem dos clubes BR?
!corinthians@soccer.forum, mas posso criar pros outros. :)
Massa, pros do Sul a gente já tem, mas os maiores dos outros estados podem ter.
Acho que os principais são esses.
New Communities
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.
