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.

Its a dumb name.
SQLite has already cornered oldDB
It's probably cooler in Chinese.
Is it being developed in china?
Although it's open source, so anyone can contribute, the original developers are Chinese (it seems to default to the simplified character set, so not Hong Kong). It's been going for a while but has only popped up on a lot of people's radars as it got English-language documentation.
My best shot at a name: AllDB
CatalogDB, might be redundant.
I set up an account on neodb.social recently. Other than the fact if you search for anything it's all in Chinese, you can search for URLs and get the English versions.
