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 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/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.

Like the community on the other site, this is a place to share your experiences using the TooGoodToGo app. It let's you buy food from bakeries, cafes, buffets, and restaurants that they would otherwise throw out at the end of the day. All locations are welcome. Read the about for the suggested post format.

/c/toogoodtogo@lemmy.world

!toogoodtogo@lemmy.world

More about the app at TooGoodToGo.com or in the App/Play Store.

You should try foodsharing, which is the non-commercialised original movement (in Europe).

I use this now and again. Last time I got all this from Greggs for £3.99:

  • four large sausage rolls
  • one large bacon and chicken salad baguette
  • one large tuna mayonnaise, lettuce and red onion baguette
  • one Cornish pasty
  • a steak bake pasty
  • loaf of bread
  • two iced danish buns

It was insane. I put the pastrys and sausage rolls into the freezer (they all reheated perfectly in my air fryer), along with the bread, and we had the baguettes for lunch. Lasted ages.

Problem is getting in there and making the purchase before others do. The app sells out very very fast where I am

Yeah that sounds like a great haul. There are a few deals here in NYC that sell out very fast too, but it’s usually only the really high end bakeries.

The target market for this is parents of not-picky teenage boys, who like to eat late at night. That being said, I am a big fan, I usually will pick up a few exotic slices of pizza and heat them up the next day, or a bag of bagels over the weekend and freeze them. It's great for discovering new places and getting food that I would not ordinarily eat, but you will have to slow down as the food by me is nearly exclusively pizza and bagels..
