A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

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/[email protected])

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.

This was one of my favorite subreddits, and I want to see it survive on lemmy.

Community for posting & making fun of memes/boomer-comics made by cishet people about how it's awful to be in relationship, or have children, or whatever else, also putting inappropriate clothing on children.

Post your "lol ball & chain" "my home boss" "haha i murdered my partner lol because im so frustrated over dishes lmao" memes here, as well as your garden-variety "toddler wearing a 'mothers, hide your daughters' onesie" or "" cishet behavior.

I think making fun of people for their sexuality is kind of a dick move. Blahaj.zone is typically against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

That's not what this Sub is about. From the original description

This subreddit is meant to discuss and laugh at toxic heteronormativity and Boomer memes; it is not a hate sub. Heterosexual people are welcome here and hetero hate is not - we're here to laugh, not hate.

That’s not what this Sub is about.

and laugh at toxic heteronormativity

... uhhhhhh. Has my reading comprehension degraded that much or is it the language?

Also: Overusing the word "toxic" can make it lose its meaning, can scare people from sharing their thoughts, and might be used unfairly to avoid responsibility.

Heteronormativity is when everyone assumes that everyone else is straight by default. It also normalises behaviors that are considered "straight".

Toxic heteronormativity is when someone's heteronormative views makes them act in a toxic way (ex: "if my son is gay, I'll kick him out", or stuff like "A guy must like having sex else he isn't normal")

So no, it's not mocking straight people for being straight, but mocking the silly behaviours that come from people taking the stereotypical role off husband and wife way too far.

Hope that explains it better :)
