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.

A few miscellaneous communities I've tried to breathe some life into this past week:
Good news!
I don't have any new communities to advertise, but just wanted to send out a reminder, that you should view your home page on scaled sort or new every now and then after subbing to these small communities. It helps them show up more when they don't have as many up votes as the big ones.
Good one! Alternatively, "New comments" can also bring them up
!truecomics@midwest.social - Examples of and discussions on the classic “The Outbursts of Everett True” 2-panel comics from the early 1900s, in which a portly man objects violently to everyday wrongdoing. This has been taking off recently.

While there are still some days remaining I'd like to promote !olympics@sh.itjust.works
Come discuss what you're watching during the Olympic Games!
I would like to promote Askhistorians becasue no one had posted in a month and the one mod doesn't answer questions.
Do you mean !askhistorians@lemmy.world?
Also,
Seems like the mod hasn't been on within the past six months.
Yep seems kind of inactive.

If you'd like to learn how to speedrun a niche puzzle game, check this one out :)
I haven't written all the tutorial posts I've wanted to yet, so stay tuned.
There's some unexplored territory I haven't explained for myself, like the connection to graph theory (i dont have any foundational knowledge for graph theory so maybe someone smarter than me can help ;) i figure it would help formalize some proofs)
Feel free to share your progress!
