There might be millions of new microblogging services but you can find the highlight here. Once we get some posts.

https://lemmy.world/c/wisconsin [!wisconsin@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/wisconsin) I'm still learning how Lemmy and the overall fediverse works, so please bear with me. Anybody from Wisconsin, who was once from Wisconsin, who wants to come to Wisconsin, or who is just interested in Wisconsin is invited to come hang out. Bears fans need not apply.

All fans of the herons are welcome to join! We have a lot of exciting news coming in the next few days!

!miraculous@lemmy.world A community to talk about everything Miraculous, the French CGI cartoon about two Parisian superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir. He loves her superhero identity, she loves his secret identity, but neither of them knows who the other really is. They must put their romantic feelings aside to protect Paris from the evil Hawk Moth. Inspired by r/miraculousladybug

Generationally is a community aimed at promote discussions regarding past, present and future generations. We discuss differences, similarities and generational cusps. !generationology@lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/generationology !generationology

In the spirit of making the communities you want to see, I've created !14ers! A fairly niche topic but would love to see trip reports trickle in. Links [/c/14ers@lemmy.world](/c/14ers@lemmy.world) [lemmy.world/c/14ers](lemmy.world/c/14ers) !14ers@lemmy.world

[DnD Homebrew](/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world) [/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world](/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world) Since I migrated from Reddit, I've missed sharing and seeing others' ideas for homebrew. I didn't see another community set up for it yet, so I created it!

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/963301 > I shared bits and pieces of this before, but it's officially up and running now: https://www.search-lemmy.com/ > > This is an enhanced search engine for Lemmy. With a few primary goals: > * You can choose a preferred instance. After choosing what your primary instance is, and performing a search ALL links will open in that instance. > * This aims to be a replacement for using `site:reddit.com` in Google, but just for the fediverse. > * You can filter the search results by: > * Instance -- This will filter the results to only show communities that belong to a particular instance. Just type something like `instance:lemmy.wrold` or `instance:https://lemmy.world/`. This is separate from your preferred instance, such that you can search for posts on lemmy.world while still opening them on lemmy.ml. > * Community -- You can refine the search by a specific community. You use the same syntax that you'd use here `community:!fediverse@lemmy.world`. > * Author -- Similar to the above you can also filter by a specific author such as: `author:@marsara9@lemmy.world`. > * The entire thing is open-source. You can view the code and even host your own instance... See more details here: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search. > > NOTE: This only supports Lemmy instances for now. Other fediverse type instances may be in the future depending on how this works out. > > I've been working on this over just the last few weeks, so it hasn't had a chance to crawl much of the fediverse yet. For now it only supports `lemmy.world` and `lemmy.ml` but other preferred-instances will come online as time goes by. > > If anyone finds any bugs, and I'm sure you will, or if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE raise an issue on GitHub for me to track. Lastly, if anyone wants to help contribute please feel free to reach out. > > **NOTE TO SERVER ADMINS: You can prevent your site from being crawled by adding `lemmy-search` to your robots.txt for the user-agent.**

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.

# 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](https://mastodon.world/about). **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/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: Why isn't the link working on kbin.social?" A: This is a community for Lemmy, there is a universal link for Lemmy, but when this universal link works on kbin. It turns out like the below. `https://kbin.social/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world/` Simply replace the c with an m for kbin.social like shown below. `https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world/` *Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that? * A: *(This may be removed soon as it is seems to be happening less often now.)* 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. # Cross-Posting On Lemmy you can use the the built in cross post function to link viewers of one post to another. This lets users quickly see what people in other communities are saying and also has the potential to expose someone to something new. For community owners this is a great way to go about seeding discussion in new communities. Example:  Thanks to this [post and creator for this tip!](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/217550)
