I’ve never created a subreddit before but yet here I am creating a community for Southern Utah in support of Lemmy.
Hoping to see the community support this in a small way as I attempt to submit a couple things per day.
Zion?
Utah is great!
Beautiful
Just got back from Santa Clara, UT. It's beautiful for hiking. Love the roads.
One of my favorite things is all the biking paths made available. Such picturesque views.
Yeah, you ain't gonna have a hard time filling this place with content, that's for damn sure.
What differentiates southern Utah so much from Utah that it needs it's own community?
Climate, weather, housing, culture, religion, amenities and much more are all completely different from northern to southern Utah. It’s similar to Southern/Northern California, separated by vast space, it’s the same type thing in Utah, just in a smaller state.
On most social media, you’ll find groups and communities that are Utah and then Southern Utah because the main Utah groups are overtaken by Northern Utah content.
And by the way, Reddit has city-based subreddits for Utah. Over time, Lemmy / Fediverse will get more and more granular with stuff like this.
Sundance in the North, Hayduke in the South?
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
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.
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
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.
