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

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

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

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!

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’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

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?

Not on either blocked instances list though, someone has to search for it first, but then make time to fetch the instance

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

Hello, I never really thought of it that way. I thought it would be more useful for a description since some community names don’t make sense by themself, but I think including both the name and a description in the title would be more useful.

Saw this post earlier and wanted to respond before continuing to post with the community name added this time but got sidetracked into an internet rabbit hole accidentally, so sorry for the delay in response to this post

For clarification, a post title would be like this? Just to make sure I’m understanding correctly:

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

What? Why would it be?

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

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

How so?

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. This may take some time. 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.

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

For more explanation, they messaged me about this community looking for moderators, but I do not think it’s possible on Lemmy, or at least I haven’t found a way yet to appoint a moderator without going to a comment or post from that person on the community. I had them comment then, not as easy as saying boop and you get mod lol

Okay, you are now a moderator!

Just so you know, that community that your promoting is the community you posted this post in
