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/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.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it's time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Hi, and welcome to Lesbiske(a) Skandinavia! I will talk in English in the description despite this mainly being a community for Scandinavian languages because it's a common language people speak. Lesbiske for the Danes and Norwegians, added an (a) for Lesbiska for the Swedes.

Welcome, fellow Scandinavian lesbians and women who love women!!!

Adding to the other daily comic communities, is Foxtrot. The first strip will be posted this Friday, the 10th of April, on the 38th anniversary of the strip's syndication debut.

!foxtrot@slrpnk.net

For anyone unfamiliar with the strip:

FoxTrot is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Amend. The strip launched on April 10, 1988, and it originally ran seven days a week. From December 31, 2006 onwards, FoxTrot has only appeared on Sundays.

The strip revolves around the daily lives of the Fox family, composed of parents Andrea (Andy) and Roger and their children, Peter, Paige, and Jason. It covers a wide range of subject matter, including spoofs of pop culture fads, nerd culture, complex math, and popular consumer products.

The World Hates Jacks

We have all heard it - A Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than the master of one. But does this world really condone it? We are conditioned to take up a career at 15 and run with it for the rest of our lives. Till the day we die of arthritis or dementia, it becomes our sole identity in society, on which we are judged and valued. Our other hobbies and passions, projects and visions are rendered a distraction, a nuisance, a roadblock in our career.

From the first moment we express a mild interest, the moment a little kid looks in awe at the stars, the society has made up its mind, the parents have dreamed up a career in astronomy. But is that really how human beings are supposed to learn, excel and explore the world? Are human beings worth no more than a cog in the machine? Can professionalism be only achieved with an inhumane mindless dedication? Can we truly prosper when our curiosity and passion have been transformed into a lifelong prison of career?

#An Alternative Way#

The despair that follows after this realisation that the world is not made for you, is heartbreaking. And I was at this exact place a couple of years ago, when I realised that if the world was not made for me, I must rebuild it better. And so was borne The Brotherhood. In this project we aim to

  1. Take back Education - Break the monopoly that the traditional academic institutions have on providing education with a structured open-source curated knowledge graph of all human knowledge.
  2. Take back Certification - Implement a decentralised peer-to-peer assessment and verification of skills where only your peers and employers rate your skills based on actual work.
  3. Provide Jobs Transparently - Use the assessments and skills to provide jobs to skilled individuals in a transparent way, where you can see the exact process and algorithm used to route work.
  4. Federative Economic Structure - The economy is hence restructured to small, fluid federations where ownership is strictly based on contribution, and is entitled to split and merge whenever.

#Goal#

The final goal of this is to free the learner and worker from the rigid structures of society and usher in a glorious age of freedom and exploration where you can

  • Leave your jobs for a couple of years to pursue a personal mission without thinking of how to get paid.
  • Work sustainably in your dream projects, your passion projects all your life and get paid fairly.
  • Go back to your career after a hiatus and receive no discrimination for leaving the industry, as long as you have retained your skills.
  • Destroy the traditional dilemma of higher education or work, by combining the two into one unified pipeline where you learn and work at the same time. NO Career Deadends.

If you would like to get more information on the project, we would advise you to check the official website and the detailed documents. If you want to get in touch, leave a comment, post an opinion, query your doubts in this community space. Never Stop Dreaming🔥
