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

!antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world That escalated quickly.
Advertised here last evening, then exploded.
All this did for me was escalate the memes on here enough to finally make me block c/memes and various imitations…
Understandable. Lemmy’s ranking logic kind of sucks. The memes are crowding out other content.
Kbin too. But, honestly, it's not the fault of the memers. One of the things that both Lemmy and kbin are gonna need is a reasonable way to recommend starting content.
Showing all is okay when there's virtually nothing on the Threadiverse, but it's a firehose weighted towards high-traffic communities as the Threadiverse activity ramps up.
Maybe have an option to show, instead of just "all" or "subscribed", "recommended".
Ideally it'd be nice to try to recommend based on existing subscriptions or viewed content, but short of that, one approach might be to only show a percentage of posts on high-traffic communities, and as traffic rises, reduce that percentage. So you see a few posts from high-traffic communities, but not all of them. That'd help with discovery of lower-traffic communities.
Same.
Is it possible to block or filter out all communities with a specific term in their name?
Like, I've got a friend who wants to block posts from any community with "meme" in their name.
I think the only way is to do a community all search for “meme,” open up the top 10 or 15, then block each one.
I just block them as they show up. It’s not the best way, but at least I know I get them all. What a shitshow these meme communities are.
I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.
You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!
So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.
There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.
I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.
Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…
… three to four million doge.
sparkle sound effect
“Antique Memes Community - Near Worthless” “Owners Thrilled”
Moderator material here.
Keep hearing the fediverse is full of mature, technical minded individuals. Glad to see memes are still the driving force of content.
Let's see if we can get them to to sixth largest!
Pushed it right to my block list.
I've seen the old memes about 500x in my feed these last 2 days. Not bad or annoying enough to block, eventually I caved and subbed.
Also, starwarsmemes #3 🤘
Btw, I think this subscriber count only includes users from the same instance as viewer. You can for example use https://browse.feddit.de/, to see that !memes@lemmy.ml has almost 30k subscribers
I think when you have a meme like that with such obvious provenance, it’s inevitably going to effect the value of other memes in the area. The whole point of this sub is to provide quality, interesting memes with real history and real pedigree. We need to work together to ensure that only the ripest hand-picked memes reach the meme-baskets of our fellow lemmites. X
Here's the link for kbin users: https://kbin.social/m/antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
Oh it’s all over my federated feed already, but thanks

Did a search for "memes" under communities > all. Technically, these are communities with "memes" in the title. So, it leaves out communities like Lemmy Shitpost, so I guess this title is actually misleading. I'll edit it.
