Problem is that a community as broad as a gaming one is bound to be subscribed my many user on many instances. Switching it to another one will only move the problem elsewhere, not fix it.

Is it? I always feel like for every topic the schema is

a community on LW

a community on another instance that exists mostly to avoid centralization on LW

Examples

!android vs !android

!games vs [email protected]

!movies vs !movies

That does not automatically mean that the LW community is “too full”, just that some users want to use other instances as well

There was a while ago the example of !mapporn vs !map_enthusiasts

As the sopuli community was more active, the LW admins closed down the LW one to focus all the activity on a single community

The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities.

Seems very close to just hosting communities on other instances? From your message, I feel like people on LW want to keep communities on “LW instances”, I’m wondering why. Is it due to distrust with other instances? Lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works and lemmy.zip have been around as long as LW, have transparent financial reports and high availability times.

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

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it’s important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world’s rules, which can be found 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.

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.
