Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:

*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.

Oh, nice to see more topic-specific instances. Would you be interested in joining https://fediverser.network to add the instance and its communities to its database?
I made the community, not the instance. Not sure if that's what you're asking. Haha.
Okay, I signed up with the community (wasn't sure if I should the instance since I didn't make it. Not sure on etiquette there). Also submitted an application to be an ambassador for the community. I chose community forum for the category, as there isn't an option for faith & spirituality/religious content. If it's within your purview, I'd suggest adding that as a category. Lemmy doesn't have a ton, but there are a few around here. Especially when moving toward the wicca and pagan end of the spectrum. Cool folks at the witchy memes community, for instance.
The instance gets automatically created once you create the community. ;)
I created a "Religion and Spirituality" category and added to your community.
Regarding the other communities, feel free to add them even if you don't have any more information about it. The whole database works as wiki and is meant to be built collaboratively.
How do I use it to find new communities? Might be a mobile browser issue, but when I try, it doesn't populate a list in the subreddits section. Was hoping to see if there were some alternatives to my former subs
Does it work if you go to https://fediverser.network/subreddits/create ?
Depends, I might be using it wrong. If I try to type in a subreddit, I get a 500 error
Not religious myself but if you are just here to worship and not to simmer about the evil sinful community-destroying gays and transgenders then I'm cool with you.
I am, personally, one of those gays. Lol
mentioning religion here is brave
People are gonna people, let 'em people . Frankly, most of the folks angry at religions/the religious have pretty solid reasons to be. Not my place to be rankled by it
And most folks angry at religion aren't angry at the ECUSA.
