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.

The real problem is that there aren’t any good tools for users to deal with this. As a user, I wish I could just join some kind of meta community that aggregates content from multiple communities, instead of having to manually track down and join all the random star trek instances on the fediverse.
Having a lot of communities for the same topic is ultimately good, but the user experience needs to be good too.
Yea, and we're in a moment right now where making a new parallel community can actually disrupt the user experience, IMO.
Though, to be clear, it would be good if some features came to make it easier to participate and keep up with multiple parallel communities.
Which is our goal. We want a rich and vibrant Star Trek community. One that isn't restricted to Paramount approval.
Wait ... what? You think startrek.website (I'm guessing) is subject to Paramount's whims or astroturfing? Where does that come from?
I'm also guessing part of the idea of this community is to be more openly critical like the "free people, we don't bend the knee" sort of sub-reddit? Which is fine ... just trying to get a feel here and I think being open and clear is good.
When STD releases it will be very obvious. Just watch their modlog as they ban anyone critical of the series. Unlike reddit they can't hide their actions on lemmy.
I’m getting the impression that you were banned from their community for something you posted, and decided to start your own community with blackjack and hookers in response.
The banned me after I started this community apparently.
