I haven't seen a community for requesting others to create communities, unless I have missed it. The original purpose of this community is to find discover and promote new communities, and is still the main purpose, but requesting a community is okay, even if it isn't the main purpose. For example, there was a post recently asking for alternative communities for venting/psychological help and there was some suggestions, and while that wasn't a post for promotion of new communities, it wasn't taken down, since it was related to new communities. I would say just to request it and maybe ask if one is already created, and one might be hosted on a different instance that you don't know about yet
I think possibly, but since I did not see this comment till now, and there was recently an update on Lemmy.world, so it was possibly solved. When I was searching for it, it seemed to take a few seconds longer than the others for it to fetch, I have heard in the past the Lemmy.ml is having problem's due to the size, but it showed up. At least you should be able to get to the community and view it, but the "subscribe pending" thing still happens. We are on the same instance, so this should be the same for you, I think. Hope the bug is fixed for you too!
Hello, it may be the fetching problem as you need to search for it first before the community fetches it. Other than that, there seemed to be a problem searching for them with the exclamation mark and when not using the exclamation mark the community does show up but no join ability, but that problem seems to be gone on Lemmy.world after they updated.
Since you are on Lemmy.zip, I don't know if it's a similar problem, or something else though, so sorry if this isn't helpful for your case, just trying to tell you what I know, hopefully this gets fixed soon!
Hello, we have recently added a new rule that the community name and a description be included in the title. This helps people understand the content of the community better from a glance
An example for your community is shown below, based on your community sidebar, but you can update your title differently, if you believe there is a better way to explain it:
Imaginary Starships - A place to post pictures of imaginary starships
Please update your title as soon as possible!
Hello, while I haven't made an official announcement on the rule change (about to do that soon), I think it will be helpful to edit your post title to something like this or different as I don't fully understand this community myself yet:
Main Character - A community where you post a story on how we met and/or how you will help me stay or stop me from being the main character
Hello, I never really thought of it that way. I thought it would be more useful for a description since some community names don't make sense by themself, but I think including both the name and a description in the title would be more useful.
Saw this post earlier and wanted to respond before continuing to post with the community name added this time but got sidetracked into an internet rabbit hole accidentally, so sorry for the delay in response to this post
For clarification, a post title would be like this? Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly:
New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
I would think professional boxing, based on the content of the community having posts discussing professional boxers
