No link?
Here you go https://lemmy.world/c/amarequests
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !amarequests@lemmy.world
Good bot
Still learning don't know how to link yet.
The sidebar shows the formatting. It is !communityname@instancename or instance/c/community (however the first one is more universal with apps).
Haven't figured out how to edit a sidebar yet.
No need to edit the sidebar, just view the sidebar here and it explains how to link a community.
I just finally learned how to link. And yes it may seem that I am slow but I am when it comes to this stuff. But can you provide a link that I can go to to better help promote mine and lemmy's community?
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca is one place. Other servers may have similar.
Thanks for enthusiastically taking this on! Lemmy needed someone in the "Victoria Taylor" role.
I have no clue who that is.
A rather infamous Reddit employee/administrator who's generally regarded as being responsible for the Golden aga of IAMA on Reddit (as she personally vetted and brought in some big name AMAs).
She was let go, which was one of the first instances of Reddit's foray into the realm of anti-community bullshit.
Out of curiousity do you know her name? That would be one hell of an AMA
Victoria Taylor?
The only thing google shows is that she work for Iraq and Iran as pretty much a consultant.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia article of Reddit - it mentions the protests that ensued after her firing.
Here's a good r/OutOfTheLoop post about her.
Edit: Let's round off our coverage of Victoria with a Snopes article about her firing.
and I will try to get them for you
If you don't mind, I have a few questions/recommendations for you:
Are you someone with a many connections, or are you planning to just cold-call a bunch of notable people and hope for the best?
Where are you planning on hosting the AMAs themselves? On !amarequests@lemmy.world, or on !askmeanything@lemmy.ca? (If the latter, you might want to coordinate with the current mod, @frankyboi@lemmy.ca)
What is your plan for promoting the AMAs (on Lemmy or elsewhere), and collecting questions ahead of time? I think both of these would be an important kickstart for the AMAs, and help ensure their success. For example, a few posts like "Notable celebrity John Smith will be answering questions on August 1st from 11:00 to 13:00 UTC, post your questions for him here" in the weeks/days leading up to the AMA might be a good idea.
Thanks again for taking on this project; looking forward to seeing what comes of it!

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.
