New Communities
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/[email protected])
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
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.

[email protected] is already going on for some time. If you want, I can make you a mod there and help you.
It's just 3 posts from you, the others are from your reddit archival bots, only 7 subscribers, "going on" is a bit exaggerated. Some people may still block your instances because of their history.
Why are you still running all these instances? Most seems really dead to me. I'm just curios.
Yes, they are still running. alien.top has been blocked by some, but the topic-specific instances have no reason to be a source of issues.
Just think of it this way: as slow as the existing community is, the community you want to build is even further behind. If we join forces, we can go a lot further than by trying to keep things separate.
They already have 122 subscribers, it took less than a day to have 15 times more subscribers, it wasn't that much behind.
Isn't it really expensive (in time or in money) to have all these instances? I see you sell some kind of accounts, does it worth?
Number of subscribers is not that relevant as a metric. It's more interesting to see overall activity.
These instances are cheap to operate because they don't have any users. They are all free to use and are not related to Communick, which provides accounts to the instances that accept accounts only for paying subscribers.
If you are asking if I am making lots of money with this, the answer is no. I am doing it now because I think it's the only way to make it fair and sustainable.
