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:
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.

Lemmy community for kbin: /search?q=newcommunities@lemmy.world
Technically the actual link is /m/newcommunities@lemmy.world, but if your kbin instance has no subscribers to that community yet, you have to first find it with the first link and subscribe to it, otherwise you get a 404.
At least on kglitch.social, using
[!newcommunities@lemmy.world](/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world)seems to work like a combination of both: Searching for it when kglitch.social doesn't know about it yet, going to /m/community if kglitch.social does know about it.Thanks, I mean I wish the formula was included in the rules so people making posts would include it so I could just click.
The part I don't know is how to post a kbin community for Lemmy users.
That's easy: /c/Animemes@kbin.social for the permanent link or
[!Animemes@kbin.social](/c/Animemes@kbin.social)(the latter might only work if posted from kglitch)Basically, the exact same as for a lemmy community for lemmy users.
Thanks!
Yay maybe now thanks to you I can promote my new community!
