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.

As we have pass our thousandth post and continue to grow, I'd felt like it would be a good idea to have more than one moderator for this community. You do not have to be on lemmy.world to apply.

It shouldn't take all day to moderate, but it's not trivial either. Please only apply if you think you'd be able to moderate.

Please message me with the following information if you would like to apply:

  • Your timezone.
  • Any moderation experience? (Not required, but if so, give basic details. Not just on Lemmy, any platform.)
  • Any other details you want to give.

Expectations

You are expected to moderate for spam and uncivil content in general and handle any other situations that may occur but also uphold the rules of lemmy.world on this community, which are here: https://lemmy.world/legal Also, help other users when needed.

This isn't exactly the most formal process, but this is a casual community and most of us are new, so I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.

Since lemmy.film went down, the only horror movie community is on lemmy.ml and is a bit quiet (possibly because it's on lemmy.ml), so, just in time for Halloween, let me present, for your spooky cinematic sights, your dark delights and your devilish delectations:

!horrormovies@lemm.ee

Hey all, this is my first community and a work-in-progress. I've only got one post up so far but I tried to make it a good one. I'll be making some more when I get the chance. I'll gladly take any feedback you have, suggestions for the sidebar, etc., and would love it if you want to participate too. Thanks!

If any of the above speaks to you then I welcome you to !musicproduction@sh.itjust.works

All knowledge levels welcome. Always wanted to make music but don't know where to start? I would love to point you in the right direction (and if It has to do with DAWs, synthesizers, or samplers I might even be able to! lol).

Also, shoutout to lemmy.studio and RIP waveform.social

Hello everyone,

As you may know, recently I started a few threads on specific categories of communities

  • manual hobbies
  • video games
  • music
  • animals
  • art
  • fandoms
  • casual conversations
  • etc.

Feel free to have a look at the recent threads in this community, most of them are there.

We might restart that cycle at some point (maybe next week). In the meantime, do you think there is any topic which should have their own thread that we haven't covered yet?

Guess The Movie (hilariouschaos.com)

Welcome to Guess the Movie – the ultimate test for your film knowledge! Here, it’s all about the visuals.

We post a single screenshot from a movie scene, and it’s up to you to figure out the film.

Jump in, drop your guess, or try to stump others with a scene of your own. No hints, no context – just pure movie guessing glory.

Ready to prove you’ve got the sharpest cinematic eye?

  2. !sponsorblock@lemmy.world

SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension and open API for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about using a privacy preserving query system. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe, and skipping to the point with highlight.

The source code is fully open and the database can be downloaded by anyone. I want to keep this as open as possible! You can view the docs for the public API or host a mirror.

A community dedicated to incredibly low quality facts.

While the community is named after the mastodon account Low Quality Facts it's not dedicated to that account and it's posts.

All forms of low quality information are allowed! Either blatantly incorrect information, stuff that's so obvious that it doesn't need to be said, or something that's technically true but said in a terrible way.

I've already posted a bunch there already to get things rolling so check it out!

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.

Lemmy is a smaller site than Reddit, even before taking into account federation. So I cast a wide net here. A lot of specific popular shows like Futurama have dedicated communities, but I thought it'd be fun to have a generalized one

New Communities

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.
