Hello again! You might be sick of me meta posting, but I’ll be done soon I swear! You can screenshot this and post it to mildly infuriating. It definitey would fit!

ㅤSee the brand new community here

So onto the actual post…

The short of it is:

I want to create a community that links to other similar and like-minded communities across the Fediverse. There maybe multiple communities on different instances that do and act with the same purpose. Having knowledge of where and who they are is brilliant.

Why not use the “search” feature? Because it doesn’t always work. I’ve had communities on lemmy.ml that for some reason would not show on world and vice versa. There are still issues with Lemmy that need to be ironed out.

I think having a comprehensive list of communities and similar communities could help.

I’m still figuring things out to be honest. The fediverse is new to me and many others but I want to do my part in growing and helping lemmy to connect to other communities.

ㅤㅤ

I also want to forge a pact between communities that is basically “we won’t do anything that might jeopordise the fediverse by sharing community members and like-minded individuals, promoting other communities and offering up advice to those who are just starting out.”

We all benefit if the fediverse is adopted by the general masses… but for that to work. You need to make it digestible. You need to foster an environment that people want to post in.

I feel like having a discord server you can help people who are asking “Is there a community for x place” and being able to point them in the right direction.

Practices I’m staunchly opposed to:

• Brigading other communities to downvote/harass members for the sheer purpose of silencing or killing the community.
• Removing Posts / Banning people for being members of a community that you feel rivals or competes with your own.
• Deleting or Removing Posts to Repost to your community as a moderator.
• Breaking the guidelines enforced by your instance, and allowing for irresponsible posting. -Encouraging harassment, doxing or criminal activities.

If you are a community and owner who would like to join C3 - the Cross Community Coalition: send me a message in DMs. If you would like your community added to the hub but don’t want to join the Coalition; send me a dm and i’ll just add your community to the hub.

ㅤㅤ At this time I will not be promoting NSFW instances/communities on the discord as I am only a single person and can’t reliably verify ages on the discord.
