New Communities
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/[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.

The fact that when you click on their website it just directly links you to discord is my issue. I don't want to sit in a chat and listen to others talk about the game, I just want to look and admire on a store front.
Also no steam no go for me pretty much as simple as that
Well, this early in the process, trying to pick up what you can is really the only thing you can do. But I'm trying to condense as much confirmed info as I can in the "what we know so far" post.
As for steam, the distribution system is far from set in stone, other than them really wanting to avoid integrating the steam API in the game itself with the limitations this involves. It's still possible it will be downloadable via steam, though. We'll just have to wait and see.
On their wiki it read "99% certainty it will not be on steam" so unless that changes... Good on you for trying to have a community for it, I'm not complaining about that. Just that I personally don't have high hopes for the game from what I've seen.
Fair enough. I don't share in your pessimism, though - They are well aware that many KSP fans are jaded by Take2 murdering the potential for a sequel, so they're focusing on creating something viable before marketing. And I've seen the other games they've made - They seem to know what they're doing, and with HarvesteR onboard (who actively participated in the previous townhall, so it's not just for bragging rights) they seem to have quite a decent team put together.
