I've just created !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works. It is similar to !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz but the other way around.

Text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

It's not similar... it literally is dontdeadopeninside??

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago

For a "don't dead, open inside", the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

For a "no safety, smoking first", the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

The problem is that the ship picture would be perfectly acceptable on dontdeadopeninside tho

[-] Hobbes@startrek.website 6 points 2 weeks ago

Who cares what the order is. This is not needed.

[-] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, idk, seems to me this way too

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 weeks ago

Are you unclear on the difference between the two formats, or do you think the differences are insufficient to warrant separate communities?

The original r/dontdeadopeninside had clearly defined distinctions between formats. I thought it would be nice to have both on Lemmy :)

I was never on Reddit so I wouldn't know, but I just don't think there's enough content to fill multiple communities. I might very well be wrong though

I'm just worried that this would lead to 3 dead communities instead of one thriving one. People forget that communities exist, if they don't regularly see posts in their feed. It might also add a lot of moderating, trying to explain users where to actually post their image.

But I don't know, maybe my worries are unwarranted.

Let's worry about creating a niche-within-a-niche after we have enough users to keep the content flowing. Like others have said, these kinds of posts are perfectly admissible on the existing community and there is no real reason to split them at this point in time.

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

The original DDOI subreddit specified that it was one way in the rules (at least at first, may have changed) , therefore it made sense to have a community for the inverse. If the small community on this small platform doesn't have such a rule then IMO they aren't different enough to warrant separate communities.

It's hilarious to me, that "safety first" is written second

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

While I usually advise to try and make larger communities instead of fragmenting, I think this is a fun subtle difference to split them up with lol

You could coordinate with the other mods to link to each other

Tagging @FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and @vox@sopuli.xyz for their thoughts. Can we mutually link to each other's communities in the sidebar?

I don't see any crew in the shot. Guess everyone was smoking.

[-] leds@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

Nah everyone is dead inside; don't open

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's worth noting that !yelldowlgyel@sopuli.xyz is also similar and around.

Thanks! Added it to the sidebar.

[-] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Instant sub, cheers.

I think I understand the intention but this seems easy to read?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So is don't dead, open inside, but it still became a thing.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yay, I missed this one.

New Communities

16843 readers
19 users here now

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.
