lemmy.world

A place to discuss politics and commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome, and discussion of issues is encouraged! No self promotion please. The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events. Rule 1: civility, no insults or personal attacks / be kind Please abide by Lemmy world’s terms of service [https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#content-policy-rules-for-users] (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc), and up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not whether you agree or disagree.

Rules are still evolving, but right now I’m just aiming for a community for civil discourse …if such a thing is possible in politics. [email protected]

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/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

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.
