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 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.

Hello, I am the operator of a small Lemmy instance called MaiionChat. Apologies in advance, if this post does not meet the formatting requirements of this community and/or if the number of communities is too excessive or too redundant of other existing communities.

The first 5 communities on the table were created recently. All the communities on the table above have content. Every hour, new content is added automatically by a bot depending on time frame and the source’s availability. All these communities are places that welcome additional content and discussion from anyone from any instance (that aren't blocked).

From this Tor Project forum post, I recently learned that Reddit operates their own onion service. In response, I decided to do the same. This is the onion link to my Lemmy instance:

maiion33jgwybulqceh6a4mum2c4xuoh2rovvwvtcys565zlbc7litqd.onion

While you need the Tor Browser for the link above, you can still access my instance at: https://chat.maiion.com

If there are any communities/subreddits you want me to add, please comment them here or post it in !communityrequests@chat.maiion.com, and I will see what I can do. Registration is open for anyone interested in viewing and communicating with other Lemmy communities over Tor. Please use a regular email address if you are going to register. Email addresses ending in .onion are not supported on this server.

Lastly, this is something noteworthy from the official Lemmy documentation.

Note that federation is not currently supported over the Tor network. An existing Lemmy instance is required. This procedure will proxy Lemmy though Tor, but federation tasks are still handled by HTTPS on the open internet.

Tor ("The Onion Router") is software designed to circumvent censorship and prevent bad actors from monitoring your activity on the internet by encrypting and distributing network traffic through a decentralized pool of relay servers run by volunteers all over the world.

A Tor hidden service is only accessible through the Tor network using the .onion top-level domain with the official Tor Browser, or any client capable of communicating over a SOCKS5 proxy. Hosting a service on the Tor network is a good way to promote digital privacy and internet freedom.

Hey I really love this idea. Hopefully we get a nice implementation of Tor and I2P somwhere in the future. Wish you all the best for your instance!
