I created !wheretopost@lemmy.world because I still find Lemmy a bit confusing. Since there are so many communities across so many servers, I never know where I should be posting certain topics.
The goal of this community is to help people find the right community to post specific content and, by doing that, hopefully, decrease posting friction and increase content.
Please subscribe and help people find the right community!
I know it may not seem like much, but I have had so many instances of content that I wanted to post but ended up just saying"fuck it" because I didn’t know where I should be posting it. This friction multiplied by hundreds of people does make the difference!
EDIT: I am looking for 2 (or so) mods for this new community. If you are interested in modding, please let me know. There shouldn’t be too much work. Just remove spam, if it ever happens.
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca ?
It has a pinned post with a list of active communities, and “where to post” posts are welcome
Unfortunately the name makes it seem like it’s just for ads and not asking where to post. And I am honestly surprised that you, who I think has the view of “don’t make communities with the same purpose on multiple servers, consolidate unless there is a big moderation/content philosophy difference” are cool with !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca both existing. Is there a moderation/content philosophy difference I am not aware of? Is it that !newcommunities is only for new ones and !communitypromo allows any? I recall being able to post old communities that I revived, or that had to move instance on !newcommunities without any blowback, but that was awhile ago so perhaps they actually do have different philosophies now.
The goal of the community seems slightly different. And also the community name itself.
It allows the same type of posts, but no harm if we want to build a few communities for people to use :)
