lemmy.world

A collection of best of Internet update stories from the Fediverse, Reddit, and beyond. — ## Important - Community Rules [https://lemmy.world/post/49939283] - Post Submission Guidelines [https://lemmy.world/post/49795849] — ## FAQ’s ::: spoiler Q: Can I avoid Reddit posts? Kind of. You can’t really avoid them in your feed without blocking the entire community. You can however, scroll down the sidebar here to “Post Sorting” and you can click each location tag. Currently there is no way to restrict a search term in the Lemmy search bar. You’ll need to click each individual location while not clicking the Reddit one. ::: ::: spoiler Q: Who can post here? Anyone who follows the posting guidelines can make a post here. ::: ::: spoiler Q: Can I repost from Reddit? As long as you follow the posting guidelines and properly tag your post and link it. ::: ::: spoiler Q: Where can I source material? Lemmy, Reddit, Ask A Manager and Captain Awkward are common sources. You can use any place where stories are submitted and responded to as long as you follow the proper posting guidelines and credit them per their request or per the posting guidelines. Any other advice columns or transcribed podcasts could be potential other sources. ::: — ## Links - c/BestofLemmy [https://lemmy.world/c/bestoflemmy] - Reddit’s BoRU [https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/] - Ask A Manager [https://www.askamanager.org/] - Captain Awkward’s Advice [https://captainawkward.com/archives/] — ## Post Sorting uses lemmy.world search ::: spoiler Sort by Source Location Tag - [Fedi] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5Bfedi%3A&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Reddit] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5Breddit%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [AAM] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5Baam%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [CA] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5Bca%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] ::: ::: spoiler Sort by Post Type - [Concluded] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BConcluded%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Ongoing] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BOngoing%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [New Update] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BNew+Update%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Inconclusive] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BInconclusive%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Ongoing] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BOngoing%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Confirmed Fake] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BConfirmed+Fake%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] - [Suspected Fake] [https://lemmy.world/search?q=%5BSuspected+Fake%5D&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=1877149&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true] ::: — ## Similar Communities - c/BestofLemmy [https://lemmy.world/c/bestoflemmy] - c/BestOfTheFediverse [https://lemmy.ca/c/bestofthefediverse] — ## Other Communities - c/AskLemmy [https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy] —

Hello all, Best of Internet Update exists. I know there’s a few other similar pages but they seem to have all died out shortly after the first great migration.

This page is for all internet story updates that are good or entertaining. Right now it’s all reddit and ask a manager stories because I haven’t seen much on Lemmy yet. Feel free to add any you know of.

NP. I’m currently unemployed, keeping me from losing my mind lmao. I did make a posting guide so if you (or anyone else) feels like contributing it’s easy to figure out the guidelines!

Create a post

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !newcommunities@lemmy.world

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 or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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:

!community@instance.com

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.
