A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

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 or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it's time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Edit: I realise I posed this in the wrong community, so I'm making this a crosspost and promotion for !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com a place to help grow the Fediverse.

Check it out.


When you want to share a image you found on PieFed, don't download and share the image, just share the PieFed link.
This way the people or person you're sharing it with might discover PieFed without you pushing it.

It also works great like this https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTheWorld/comments/1md2npo/what_is_the_best_power_outlet_and_why (does not work with old.reddit )

This will also improve SEO, and PieFed etc. might start popping up on search engine results more, and people will start to see and trust the Fediverse more.

The community !mars@discuss.tchncs.de is hosting every kind of news, art and discussions about the planet mars. Everybody is welcome to participate, even if you don't know much about Mars. Feel free to ask questions, learn and have fun. Artworks are accepted if they're at least somewhat related to Mars. I post there regularly, to provide information and infographics, such as this one and this one, but i haven't had time yet to put these infographics into actual posts to explain what is shown on them. Forgive me for not having done so already.

!iran@Piefed.social is a new community to discuss everything about iran since im a iranian and there is no active community for iranians on lemmy or piefed i have decided to make this

!sigh_fi@quokk.au

Sigh-Fi is a place for memes for all sci-fi shows, books, &c. It's a great place to share memes for less popular series that can't afford their own dedicated meme community.

I've had to recreate the comm as it didn't handle the transfer from Lemmy (had a capital letter in name).

Lots of RSS feed communities, migrated over from that other instance. Discussion is at !meta@ibbit.at.

Here's a full list of what's available, it's mainly news with a politics / tech focus, but there's all kinds of stuff:


Communities

News & Journalism

Regional

Culture, Politics & Society

Nature and Environment

IT and Tech

Science and Technology

Ars Technica

Streams

Art & Entertainment

Gaming


Please report spam, some sources are okay but also post spam stories sometimes, I keep a blacklist and generally try to be a good citizen. If you want to have something that you don't see, let me know.

Also, if you know of any duplication between these communities and something that already exists somewhere, please let me know. The point is to make available high quality content for people who want it, not to overwhelm with autoposted fluff.

Paywalled or partially paywalled content gets posted by a separate bot, @paywall@ibbit.at, to make it a little easier to block that for people who don't want it.

Enjoy.

!FediverseSlander@Lemmy.world is a pointless drama comm for when you really need to vent about a user on the Fediverse spreading blatant and, most importantly, disprovable lies about another user. The lies being disputed can be about you, or they can be about someone else - just come with receipts of some sort both for the claimed lies, and to prove that what was said was a lie!

For when the salt in your life overfloweth, and you need to dispute some bullshit!

New comm at !Lotrmemes@piefed.social - a community for posting silly memes about the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit - whether books, movies, cartoons, series, games, or miscellanea!

Why leave Dbzer0?
In general, I've been eyeing leaving Lemmy in general for Piefed for a while, mostly over the concerning behavior of the Lemmy devs in enforcing genocide denial on their flagship server.

As for this move specifically, however, I've had some tension with Dbzer0 the past few months. Originally I mostly shrugged it aside. They're anti-electoralists, I'm not, it's whatever, it's the Fediverse, we don't have to agree. I preferred to move LOTRmemes to Dbzer0 initially for decentralization reasons, and at the time the admins hadn't given me much in the way to distrust them.

I was recently banned from Dbzer0 for a false claim made by some poster who loves to talk about me, and then proceeded to spread the additional easily disproven lie that I was transphobic and refused to use neopronouns over my interactions with a user called Drag - both of which are demonstrably untrue claims which I confronted the poster on previously; the admins apparently don't give a shit how many times this happens, but downvoting that aforementioned poster when they say something objectionable is against the rules. Apparently, downvotes are forbidden if it's a poster the admins like to asspat.

Funny enough, I was actually assured that both the main admins at the time of the controversy with Drag were broadly onboard with my opinion - ie that I was willing to use Drag's pronouns, but didn't regard that as carte blanche to force people to call dragons real. Guess that's transphobia too - or maybe they've changed their opinions since to suit.

However, the behavior of the admins has gotten to the point where I'm really through with the whole instance, and getting a 7-day instance ban for bullshit from a poster that they regularly permit to spread blatant lies was just the last straw.

Banning people for being anti-AI, removing criticism of the admins' own behavior (including, ironically, in YePowerTrippingBastards), hiding the ability to check mods in the modlogs, handing out bans despite breaking no rules but being a 'turbolib' for arguing for anarchist harm reduction, removing posts for 'badjacketing' for anyone making an accusation (except, of course, for people or accusations they like), the idea that preventing Nazis from getting into office is good is 'reactionary' and removal-worthy, banning discussion of Blahaj's policy of banning people in other comms from YePowerTrippingBastards, trying to force through refederation with Lemmygrad, of all places - it's pretty clearly not for me.

So, you're all welcome to make the move with me, or you're welcome to stick around there, of course. The dbzer0 comm will need new mods, but mods are a dime a dozen, honestly, so my departure there is no great loss to the comm. All up to personal preference - but I sure as shit won't be posting there anymore, even after the instance ban expires.

And, predictably, this announcement was deleted on the dbzer0 comm by the admins.

Former Redditors may be familiar with the AquaSwap subreddit, one of the most active places online to buy, sell, trade, and give away aquatic life and related goods. I created a Lemmy replacement.

Hello Fediverse!

I'm happy to announce the Single Purpose Devices community on Lemmy, a place for discussion, sharing of ideas and recommendations about the growing trend of single purpose devices: rather than relying on a smartphone that brings you anxiety and demands attention, how about going back to the days of carrying a MP3 player, a notebook and pen and a beautiful camera?

While people join this movement for a variety of different reasons, from reclaiming digital privacy, to mental health, to evading anti-customer repair policies and malicious software updates, we can all share our own experiences and tips. See you there!

!surrealism@fedia.io

I will add more content over time, because I don't want to spam the feed. I am happy and thankful for any contributions. 😊

I really enjoyed the Seed Swap community on Reddit, and gotten a lot of good trades from people there. I haven’t seen one pop up here yet, and I wanted to continue sending/receiving seeds, so I went ahead and created one.

!seedswap@lemmy.world

For anyone wanting to trade extra seeds, or request specific seeds, hopefully this will be our community.

Dubvee went offline before we could decide and move the community which just has been moved to Dubvee not more than three weeks ago. Therefor we couldn't announce where we move to which I'd like therefore to do with this post.

The new community is: !dundermifflin@piefed.jeena.net

No matter the ball type or style you play, get a grip, fake a throw, and dodge a ball, here at the dball community for all. https://lemmy.world/c/Dodgeball

I first began playing dodgeball at the age of 14 in 2001 at after school free play events, and the hosts got the inspiration to get the ball rolling from the NES Super Dodgeball video game. At the time, I was completely unaware of any existence of competitive events for the sport, but 12 years later, I was selected to represent my country on the international level, and I've now gained experience with the sport in 7 countries.

I'm ready to return to Ukraine, to help them stay active and healthy through the sport of dodgeball, and to help them practice their English. In 2021 I hosted a few English speaking clubs and dodgeball practices in Odesa, Ukraine. I recently released a free downloadable early access alpha version of a simple 2D video game about dodgeball and idioms, to help people who are learning English, and having proceeds of game sales to create more dodgeball events and English speaking clubs in Ukraine, and more, which you can read more about on this Lemmy post at https://lemmy.world/post/33040433

I made this community so I had a place to post stuff without spamming up other comms.

!greeneggsandspam@quokk.au

!modabuse_powertrip@lemmybefree.net (new instance, I hope it'll stay faithful to what it states)

Made this community after a few disagreements with the mod/admin policies on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org seems mostly trolls

Hello friends,

Seeing a lack of a generalized video game meme community, I made one: !video_game_memes@piefed.social

ETA: Proper link, as required by rules

I'm new to forum moderation so if anyone spots anything in the rules or sumn that needs changing, I'm happy to make changes. Hopefully this can be a headache-free place for video game laughs and lighthearted discussions. :D

Feel free to make suggestions for icon/banner too, haven't thought of what to use for the banner yet...
