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:
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.

Well, your post is still up, so we can assume it's okay lol.
But! Lemmy isn't like reddit in one major way. There aren't as many assholes. This makes moderation absurdly low effort currently. It might change in the future, but for now, you might end up needing to do anything significant maybe once a week or so.
So, you can likely do just fine. But hey, if you make it, and want someone to help you out, I'll be glad to play second banana until you find someone that shares the interest in cross dressing. Moderating isn't as hard as you think, though it does take time to learn how to do it well. But for a niche interest, it's largely just a matter of keeping trolls controlled and setting up the style/vibe how you want it to be. You can do that without sharing the interest :)
