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 or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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.

!FediverseSlander@Lemmy.world is a pointless drama comm for when you really need to vent about a user on the Fediverse spreading blatant and, most importantly, disprovable lies about another user. The lies being disputed can be about you, or they can be about someone else - just come with receipts of some sort both for the claimed lies, and to prove that what was said was a lie!

For when the salt in your life overfloweth, and you need to dispute some bullshit!

Isn't there already a comm called Drama? I'd just check it out to be nosy tbh

There's a Fediverse drama sub, but it's about recording rather than disproving drama, and doesn't allow drama to be posted by anyone involved in the drama.

This is more about disproving false claims that come about in the process of Fediverse drama, and allows people to bring up their own cases, so long as they come with evidence that the claim is false, and not just counter-accusations or unsupported denials.

You mean you are not controlling existing sub which is why you prefer to start a new one?

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social -3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.

When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.

Both of the top rules of the Fediverse drama sub are kind of antithetical to the point of FediverseSlander.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And now you have removed post about people you slandered? You are bigger coward than I thought.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Only Pug is allowed to slander, but documenting his behavior is removed.
