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 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.

You know I never knew what DeArrow was but something I've always found annoying about YouTube is that when a title is long, the only way to read it is to open the video
You can also hover over the title to see the full thing. But this also got annoying since they start playing the video when you hover, so sometimes when you take too long it'll mark the video as played. I honestly hate that hover play feature, who actually wants to watch a video from the start in that tiny ass window? The thing where they'd show some stills from several points in the video was much better imo.
I'll watch entire videos and then leave before the last 20 seconds of bs is over and it won't mark it as played for me and you're out here having videos marked as played for just the preview player xD
My Android is my primary device so I don't get the alt text. Also I feel like I'm letting you down, because so many times I will watch a video from the preview as I just want to watch the video silently and the only way to do that on mobile without messing with the whole systems volumes controls is the previews. 🥹
Jumping in:
Use a YT fork, you can customize it to some of your liking; Some come with SponsorBlock enabled right out of the box.
Yeah, I just click on video to check titles, unless you copy and paste yt url then go to a front-end website.
Or Louis Rossmann yt fork...
YouTube is increasingly dedicated to making the YouTube experience increasingly shittier, which is why I only use 3rd party clients (and also why I don't pay for YT Premium, aside from no longer having a Google account at all).
