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 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.

We had a deep drought a few years ago. 15 foot deep ponds ran completely dry. The brown forest rats moved into the farms looking for food and water. They were EVERYWHERE. They got into the walls of our buildings, chewed through into the animal houses, and got into the feed. That same year we had an explosion in red squirrels and chipmunks. Then...they were gone. Not one to be seen.
I was walking toward the brooding house one day and a huge rat (for a brown forest rat) came charging out toward me, ran into my boots, turned and continued. Right behind it came a mink in hot pursuit. The mink had moved in and cleared out the red squirrels, the chipmunks, and the brown forest rats. I told it that it could stay as long as it left the birds alone.
That worked out well for us.
Another year our daughter went out to open up and found a row of 9 ducklings with their heads pulled out under the door. A mink had gotten in and killed one and not being able to pull it out under the door went back for another. It worked its way through all of our ducklings before giving up.
I caught that one. It's pelt is in my workshop.
I have a live and let live policy as long as they don't touch our animals.
