Maybe I'll finally get to drawing some of my cosmic horrors
Cool
This is the first I've seen your instance, hilarious chaos, what's it all about?
Being ridiculous lol funny shit, parody stuff, we also have serious discussions too and we are not extremely political. We're pretty neutral.
We've got a horror community to if you're interested
Sounds cool! Might make an account on it if I find alot of cool communities I like.
Would be good to be in a neutral space, things can get heated sometimes over here.
Thanks for the informative reply!
Here's all of our communities. Red dots signify they are political, red question marks indicate possibly being political based on users posts. Or your determination.
Hope that helps and we'd love to have u !
Did you know about !lovecraft_mythos@lemmy.world?
Yes, I'm a member there. It was during a discussion with the creator of that group that we decided to start this one, as he wants to keep it more Lovecraft mythos orientated without the more general cosmic horror.
Ah! In that case, subbing now.
And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy's not big enough to divide the topic up like that.
Why not just sub to both?
I'm afraid I would spread myself thin. Two dead communities is the worst outcome.
What do you mean spread yourself? If a community doesn't have activity, there's nothing to see from it. If you're subscribed, it's just more stuff on your feed.
I comment and post as well. A lot. (Hey, you're here too, don't judge!)
Obviously I'm not a community on my own, but for something niche by Lemmy standards every bit of activity helps.
I wish there was no move happening at all, but if OP is telling the truth it has been decreed from up high.
Right, but subscribing to a community doesn't obligate you to post there.
I guess. Fine, you've convinced me, I'll sub to both.
Love the idea - I vote for less listicles however
Neat! I'll check it out!
Sounds like a fun idea for a community!
There’s also !cosmichorror@kbin.social, but that one may be dead.
Well, kbin.social is dead, so any communities on it are also dead.
Oh! I’d missed that.
Yeah, there's an issue with how communities are federated. If the host instance goes down, there's nothing which reflects when viewing the community from a remote instance. Local users can continue posting, blissfully unaware that their posts aren't being federated.
If you can still see your local lemmy.world version of !CosmicHorror@kbin.social, you might want to make one final post there directing any lemmy.world users to the new !cosmichorror@lemm.ee.
Posted. Thanks!
It was being developed in PHP in 2023, so it's not really a surprise it failed, in hindsight.
If you're OOTL that's a dead programming language more common in the Y2K era, and one that's not remembered fondly at all.

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/community@instance.com)
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.
