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.

This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
By the way @Don_Dickle@lemmy.world, feel free to post to !movies@lemm.ee as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced
I hate having too many stuff to login to everyday are there any good instances you can reccomend. I just want a community or Instance to outdo reddit.
You don't have to log in to any different instance.
You can just use https://lemmy.world/c/movies@lemm.ee to access that community
As I have been called this along with troll and other stuff are you just spamming the community? Asking out of curiousity and I thank you for the link. I will....no hate or no sarcasm...much love mate.
I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!
Feel free to post as much as you want on it, if necessary we'll tell you to post a bit less, but I think with your current rhythm it should be fine
I'll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I've seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.
if someone plays jrpg's maybe take a look at !jrpg@lemmy.zip and maybe share something about the last game you played.
A couple fandom communities:
Thanks for the "mostly fanart posts" disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of *annoying* because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that's what !episode_discussion@ani.social is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!

Nice one!
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com post your bad experiences with mods.
Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable
*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.
Ah, stirring indeed, thanks!
I might post it later, we'll see

!dubstep@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Migrated the dubstep community to a different instance but will still be very much active, I will be posting 2 releases per day, prioritising new releases where I can.
Please also join in if you like some wubs :)
Where was it, and why the switch?
Was on .world. Main points were to minimise centralisation of communities on .world and to maximise the number of people who can see the community based on some defederation and dislike of .world.
Thanks Blaze for supplying a link :)
Glad to see more efforts to move off world. Are world and dbzer0 federated with each other again? I recall they weren't at some point.
They always were, it was just one community (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) which was blocked from LW
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Nice that instances can block with some granularity, rather than just boolean federation or defederation.
!dubstep@lemmy.world, there should be a post from yesterday about the switch
Nice!
Its a little slow to start and I'm writing my second post there now but I mod https://lemmy.world/c/tftt
Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.
Is it lemmy.world? There's a typo that threw me off in the link.
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.
!tftt@lemmy.world
Interesting, couldn't that type of content be also posted to !rpg@ttrpg.network ?
I have no idea, maybe
Lemmy is still small, so it's usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.
Anyway, good luck!
!cubers@lemmy.world
For all things Rubik's cubes and twisty puzzles!
!hydroponics@slrpnk.net
I really like !gardening@lemmy.world as well
Gonna try to post more to !gameart@sopuli.xyz, more subscribers and posters welcome both.
!fantasyfootball@lemmy.world
The preseason has just begun. We were fairly active last season with several active users. We are looking for returning and new contributors for the upcoming season.
If you play fantasy football, we’d love to have you
Good luck! Just to clarify for readers, it's American football
A.k.a. hand-egg. "Foot" "ball", my arse :)

Don't know if someone can link it but going to ask anyway can someone link me to the community of ELI5 that has like 13k subscribers so I can add it to my feed.?
!explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world
now how do I delete my community so we can combine forces?
You can probably lock your community so that posts you created are still accessible.
You can do that by editing the community sidebar and check the "Only moderators can post" box
Cool thank you. No sarcasm was just thinking of people getting confused.
Once you've done that, I would recommend the following actions:
@rikudou@lemmings.world, could you please add Don_Dickle as a moderator of !explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world? I believe they have sent you the DM you asked for.
thank you so much....no sarcasm.
