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:
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.

MODERATORS
as someone who just got told to not post there ever again (i was not being mean, i was adding to community discussion), describing this community as "inclusive" is a bit of a misnomer.
I think "inclusive" in the context of a women-only community means it's a women's space that doesn't exclude lesbians and trans women (or other LGBT+ folks who feel they belong in a women-only space, like some enbies and so on).
Thanks Amazing Awesome and I know you weren't being remotely mean. We've had to be women only because we've had so much abuse from the manosphere. We really appreciate nice men though, and I know you were just contributing.
You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.
Its a good idea but I don't think we can do that on lemmy? I don't want to seperate us too much but it's something to consider
You can't. Piefed has a few more options regarding downvotes, that you may already be aware of
Ah thought not thanks Blaze
I don't fully trust chatgpt, but here are steps it suggested.
Set Community to Restricted or Private During or after creation:
Go to your community page.
Click "Community Settings" (gear icon if you're a mod).
Under "Community Type", choose:
Restricted – Only mods can post; anyone can view.
Private – Only approved users can post/comment; content may be hidden from outsiders depending on server config.
🔒 Private is best for a fully closed community.
- Control Who Joins Still in settings:
Enable "Require mod approval to join".
You can also toggle:
“Allow users to follow”: turn off if you don’t want lurkers.
“Enable posting for approved users only”.
- Manually Approve Members To approve users:
Users request to join your community.
As a mod, go to the mod queue and approve or reject requests.
This is a full hallucination from ChatGPT.
There is no way to currently set a community to Private. The way to access settings is via a pencil icon, not a gear.
There is currently an option to limit visibility to the local instance, but that prevents anyone from another instance to participate, and does automatically grants full access to any local user.
What is possible is to only allow mods to post, but even that doesn't limit comments, and would require every member to be a mod.
Good thing chatgpt burned through a logs worth of CO2 for nonsense
You chose to use it 🤷♂️
Google search has become so shit that chatgpt sometimes actually has better info...except when it doesn't. Stract.com is the goto for old school searching
TIL there's a women's community. will subscribe!
There isn't, because you cannot prove a Lemmy user's gender to enforce this. You can only moderate the content.
Glad to have you!
yay!!
Good for y’all. Sorry youse are having such a hard time enforcing the “women only” rule… Some people can’t take a hint or read a sidebar…
