Thank you for saying that!

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

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

I haven't seen a community for requesting others to create communities, unless I have missed it. The original purpose of this community is to find discover and promote new communities, and is still the main purpose, but requesting a community is okay, even if it isn't the main purpose. For example, there was a post recently asking for alternative communities for venting/psychological help and there was some suggestions, and while that wasn't a post for promotion of new communities, it wasn't taken down, since it was related to new communities. I would say just to request it and maybe ask if one is already created, and one might be hosted on a different instance that you don't know about yet

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.

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

There is one in lemmy.film for Movies and TV Shows, but even if it was entirely the same community topic, there's still a reason to have more than one community on the same topic

Takes a while for it to fetch the community, please read: Q: Why do I get a 404?

That's pretty new too, it was made within the last week, the biggest I've seen is Beehaw's then Lemmy.ml's technology communities. However, new communities are always going to be smaller at the beginning than ones that have been around for a month or a year, but that changes when people learn that they exist!

I used all three of them, that one is the second link

Good idea to link that one too, but this is a feature on Lemmy to have multiple communities with the same topic, no centralization so we aren't just reliant on one instance. For more niche topics, it might make sense so small communities don't get even more fragmented. However for communities like gaming, a broad topic, it should be fine to have on multiple instances

Well one reason is that I don't moderate or participate in all of these communities, I'm simply documenting them here. Many communities are being created across Lemmy, so this is a place to help people find them, and I'm fulfilling the purpose of this community by posting them?

I'm not familiar with the term unsers. However, there is a point for multiple communities. Lemmy is meant to be decentralized with no central authority, leading to multiple communities that are the same (or with similar topics) that have different rules and moderators.

As an example, the first one is based on posting AI generated images with no specific platform while the second one is to share tips, questions, and images created on Midjourney only. This shows the differences, but even if the topics were entirely the same, it would be important for choice and decentralization

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

It's an allowed instance, you can review allowed and blocked instances on lemmy.ml here:

https://lemmy.ml/instances

You may be thinking of beehaw.org, who defederated immediately with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works:

https://beehaw.org/post/567170

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

I'm promoting this new community for discovery, not my own, but which EV communities do you personally recommend?

It's not much of fragmenting communities if people can easily learn about the others and it gives people choice. Not every technology community is the same. For example:

• Lemmy.ml's focus is on all news related to creation and use of technology, and to facilitate civil, meaningful discussion around it
• Beehaw's is rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news, it probably belongs here
• Lemmy.world's seems to be about news
• Lemmy.einval.net's seems to be about general technology, without a focus on news so far based on the post I can see, but it is too new to know for sure.

While the first three seem to be about news, the fourth seems to be about general technology.

Furthermore, in some cases fragmentation of communities is the very point. Lemmy is meant to be decentralized, which gives you choice in which one to go to. I don't see how you think that is counterproductive though

Federated is when multiple unrelated instances of a software can communicate and share with one another. Decentralized is when there is no central point, no one set of servers, and there is choice which is what Lemmy is and it's not centralized like Reddit is. Lemmy can be both federated and decentralized.

They even say in the introduction in the Docs, that I will link below, that "Federation is a form of decentralization. Instead of a single central service that everyone uses, there are multiple services that any number of people can use."

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/introduction.html?highlight=decentr#introduction

I think there is some semblance of misunderstanding. I only moderate three communities and those are for communities that I did not see any alternatives for at the beginning, after searching for them.

I did not try to be part of the existing communities first as I did not create this one at all either. This community is for discovery and promotion of new communities. I post them to help give choices that people may not be aware of and fragmentation is not necessarily a bad thing in the first place. Fragmented communities can make the communities smaller, leading to an actual sense of community. Bigger does not always mean better.

Lemmy is meant to be decentralized like said before and a point of that is that there is no one place that controls the whole federation. While it might not make sense to you, the decentralized nature gives people the ability to create and interact with the communities they choose and don't need to go to one place even if it's a niche topic

Well Lemmy is meant to be decentralized with no central authority, leading to multiple communities that are the same (or with similar topics) that have different rules and moderators. It leads to there being no single point of failure and by there being multiple communities, it can keep communities less corrupt, since there is always more than one to choose from

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

I'm unsure of why, it seems like we are on the same instance, but only the one with the exclamation works for me and before the update too. However, since there was just an update maybe the bug is fixed, but please tell me if you still can't join it now

Hello, it may be the fetching problem as you need to search for it first before the community fetches it. Other than that, there seemed to be a problem searching for them with the exclamation mark and when not using the exclamation mark the community does show up but no join ability, but that problem seems to be gone on Lemmy.world after they updated.

Since you are on Lemmy.zip, I don't know if it's a similar problem, or something else though, so sorry if this isn't helpful for your case, just trying to tell you what I know, hopefully this gets fixed soon!

I think possibly, but since I did not see this comment till now, and there was recently an update on Lemmy.world, so it was possibly solved. When I was searching for it, it seemed to take a few seconds longer than the others for it to fetch, I have heard in the past the Lemmy.ml is having problem's due to the size, but it showed up. At least you should be able to get to the community and view it, but the "subscribe pending" thing still happens. We are on the same instance, so this should be the same for you, I think. Hope the bug is fixed for you too!

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

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 would think professional boxing, based on the content of the community having posts discussing professional boxers

Yeah, however after it is searched it should work, the 404 problem might happen sometimes since all these communities are new and might not be connected with all instances yet

Change the link from a /c/ to an /m/, lemmy uses /c/ and kbin uses /m/, not an automatic way to do it across platform yet

A more thorough post is pinned in this community, but to put it simply,

[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine](/c/ds9@lemmy.world)

The brackets is the text that shows up, and the ds9@lemmy.world is the community and the instance the community is on.

I have never used the Jerboa app so take this all with a grain of salt, since it may be different than the website. The link with the [link text](/c/community@instance.com) should only work if the community is already linked with your instance, the two other formats can be put in the search bar, and after the instance fetches it, it should show up, but not sure how this all works on the app version though

Hello, we have recently added a new rule that the community name and a description be included in the title. This helps people understand the content of the community better from a glance

An example for your community is shown below, based on your community sidebar, but you can update your title differently, if you believe there is a better way to explain it:

Imaginary Starships - A place to post pictures of imaginary starships

Please update your title as soon as possible!

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
