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:
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.

I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.
Parrots are welcome!
A lot of the psittacine medical knowledge base is actually from poultry research. They’re surprisingly similar anatomically!
One big difference is that hens lay eggs every day, that still blows my mind. A parrot risks death if they lay more than twice a year because they can’t recover enough dietary calcium quickly enough.
I updated the New Communities post, sidebar, and title of the group to welcome other types of birds while their own communities gather. We're happy to provide care and comfort for those communities until they do.
There's a community here for parrots and one for cockatiels specifically! I've added a link to Backyard Chickens to the sidebar of the parrots community. 🙂
Cool. I'll do the same. Thanks.
Question...how do I write the link so that it works everywhere? I'm struggling with links that work for me but not for other people.
I've been doing my links like:
[/c/cockatiel](https://lemmy.world/c/cockatiel)No idea if it works or not.
