While not every community is on Lemmy yet that I visit on Reddit, by people migrating from Reddit to here, hopefully that issue will be solved soon. The community here seems way more welcoming than the Reddit community is too

yes it is, though it wasn't really clear in the image that it was

Would you mind if I pin this post? I feel like it will be helpful if people can see this post the second they enter this community, to help with the 0-1 post problem

I'm sorry if my posts have made your frustrated or irritated. I'm not a bot, this is a place to announce new communities, and a lot of communities were made recently. If all of them are announced, it may help with communities fracturing too much. I saw your mod reports and I think you are also confused about the creators of the communities, by saying "generating hundreds of new communities", it makes me think that you think I moderate them. However, I only moderate 4 communities, including this one, and all of those I posted have their own moderators

It may be due to your instance not being aware of that community existing. See:

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.

That's great! I remember just a few days ago that it had only 100 users, it's growing quickly!

Thank you for saying that!

Just so you know, that community that your promoting is the community you posted this post in

I think it is done automatically when someone subscribes to a lemmy.ninja community? Pretty sure you don't have to request it, plus it's on the lemmy.world instance list already

Okay, you are now a moderator!

No, lemmy.world is for any type of community, you don't necessarily need to move it to lemmy.studio , but it will help lemmy.world, since lots of people have been signing up in a short time-frame. You would have to start an account on an instance if you want to create an instance there. It's up to you if you want to change it to another instance or not

Okay, that's good to know. I wasn't aware of that problem, I hope you get some progress on that issue soon!

I think the universal link only changes the community to your instance, but not much more than that. If the community isn't already connected to your instance, it won't work, but once someone connects it, it will work I think, wish there was just one easy way, but football@lemmy.world is probably already connected, so that's why that one works and not the others. May be a problem, since most of these are new communities, so I'm just going to use both ways for now, until there's a better way

I am just seeing if there was a community for this already created, as I don't want to cause unnecessary fragmentation of a community at the start, and I don't want to moderate too many communities either if I made one if there wasn't already, so was just throwing the idea out here too

Yes apparently people still do, I personally used it for a while for the points and when the AI was first released, but then stopped using it as I felt it wasn't exactly the best browser for privacy

Opaque in this sentence means obscure or mysterious, not related in any way to a transparency value

Yes, it would best to use two links, that is why I said you should include the following format in the post, then said it gets a 404 sometimes, and to include one of the other formats too that you can use while searching, if it wasn't searched for already

Good catch, when I cross-posted, it automatically links to the original instance, not the local version, and I never changed that part

I'm not exactly sure what the best way is, but the example you showed there sends you to the Beehaw site, but the formatting mentioned in this crosspost would make accessing the community, regardless of your instance, in this case lemmy.world easier, and would just make it easier to subscribe and view communities universally.

The formatting does not work in the web link field though, so I just use the original link in the web link field and put the universal link in the body field.

I'm not really sure if there's an official way to link on Lemmy though at the end of the day

Hello, I never really thought of it that way. I thought it would be more useful for a description since some community names don't make sense by themself, but I think including both the name and a description in the title would be more useful.

Saw this post earlier and wanted to respond before continuing to post with the community name added this time but got sidetracked into an internet rabbit hole accidentally, so sorry for the delay in response to this post

For clarification, a post title would be like this? Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly:

New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
