Feel free to promote this community on yours, the more people know about it, the more effective it is to promote communities 😄

Blaze@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Recreating this from a local account to see if it works better regarding pinning

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Seeing you post from an account without a profile picture feels profoundly weird.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y

I really just use it to mod this community, it's not in my usual accounts rotation

squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

A few of these point to lemm.ee, do you want to update those?

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y (4 replies)

I just did, didn't it federate on your end?

For the one that I didn't, it's because they haven't decided yet (!esp@lemm.ee)

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Even when I view it on lemmy.ca (original instance) I still see 5 lemm.ee communities in the list.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

AFAIK, those 4 haven't decided on a new place yet. Or is there one I'm missing?

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

OK, thanks, I was just not sure if this was intentional

Done

MITM0@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Is there any Lemmy community where one can simply submit world-building lore ?? Just in case any nice person wants to make a video-game/indie-movie out of it ?

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

!worldbuilding@lemmy.world maybe?

Smokeydope@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Tekktical@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Hi, im completely new, but would like to make this my go to social media.

Some of the communities you posted ended up empty for me. Is there anything I can do to change that? Besides posting in it ofc. I meant if I did something wrong.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

Hello,

Could you please check your language settings following that link? !languagesettings@lemmy.zip

If you can't see any posts there, have a look this way: https://lemmy.zip/c/languagesettings

Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Which ones? All of these should have some content.

If a community has never been accessed by a user from your instance before (lemmy.wtf), they may appear empty to start with.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

This is probably a language issue, especially as this comment is tagged as Nederlands

zabadoh@ani.social · 1 pts · 29d

How about a category for music?

Perimenopause@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 305d (2 replies)

Join @Perimenopause@lemmy.world A Perfect community for men and women to discuss health and wellbeing.

Blaze@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 305d (1 reply)

Perimenopause@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 305d

thank you for fixing that! Men and women are welcome to post your questions or if you just want to rant about your health issues! We're a welcoming community with no judgement!

Dupelet@piefed.social · 1 pts · 230d (2 replies)

Could you add !Nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social to the list?

Blaze@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 225d (1 reply)

Done!

Dupelet@piefed.social · 1 pts · 225d

Many thanks!

I made a new Game Community. ARC Raiders

https://jlai.lu/c/arc_raiders

MITM0@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (3 replies)

What's it about ?

AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

A video game. A science fiction game set in a post apocalyptic world.

MITM0@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Is it opensource ?

AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 1y

It is not

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee · 0 pts · 1y (2 replies)

For news their is !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com

cm0002@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

FYI to anyone who comes across this, HilariousChaos is a "Gentler friendlier" ExplodingHeads instance, a hard right-wing instance that allowed all manner of bigotry and hate that died when other instances started defed'ing from them

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee · 0 pts · 1y

Free speech means their will be people saying hateful things. And most of the commentary on my community is still very much left wing.
