cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/963301 > I shared bits and pieces of this before, but it's officially up and running now: https://www.search-lemmy.com/ > > This is an enhanced search engine for Lemmy. With a few primary goals: > * You can choose a preferred instance. After choosing what your primary instance is, and performing a search ALL links will open in that instance. > * This aims to be a replacement for using `site:reddit.com` in Google, but just for the fediverse. > * You can filter the search results by: > * Instance -- This will filter the results to only show communities that belong to a particular instance. Just type something like `instance:lemmy.wrold` or `instance:https://lemmy.world/`. This is separate from your preferred instance, such that you can search for posts on lemmy.world while still opening them on lemmy.ml. > * Community -- You can refine the search by a specific community. You use the same syntax that you'd use here `community:!fediverse@lemmy.world`. > * Author -- Similar to the above you can also filter by a specific author such as: `author:@marsara9@lemmy.world`. > * The entire thing is open-source. You can view the code and even host your own instance... See more details here: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search. > > NOTE: This only supports Lemmy instances for now. Other fediverse type instances may be in the future depending on how this works out. > > I've been working on this over just the last few weeks, so it hasn't had a chance to crawl much of the fediverse yet. For now it only supports `lemmy.world` and `lemmy.ml` but other preferred-instances will come online as time goes by. > > If anyone finds any bugs, and I'm sure you will, or if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE raise an issue on GitHub for me to track. Lastly, if anyone wants to help contribute please feel free to reach out. > > **NOTE TO SERVER ADMINS: You can prevent your site from being crawled by adding `lemmy-search` to your robots.txt for the user-agent.**

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave. If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know *something* about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don't do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void. Also please consider whether you *need* to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you'll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - *then* it's time to create a separate community. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

As we have pass our thousandth post and continue to grow, I'd felt like it would be a good idea to have more than one moderator for this community. You do not have to be on lemmy.world to apply. It shouldn't take all day to moderate, but it's not trivial either. Please only apply if you think you'd be able to moderate. Please message me with the following information if you would like to apply: - Your timezone. - Any moderation experience? (Not required, but if so, give basic details. Not just on Lemmy, any platform.) - Any other details you want to give. **Expectations** You are expected to moderate for spam and uncivil content in general and handle any other situations that may occur but also uphold the rules of lemmy.world on this community, which are here: https://lemmy.world/legal Also, help other users when needed. This isn't exactly the most formal process, but this is a casual community and most of us are new, so I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.

The small but growing curated community for AI image generations that look indistinguishably realistic! Feel free to stop by or share your own generations: !aiphotography@lemmings.world

!sockpuppetsociety@lemmy.ca [/c/sockpuppetsociety](/c/sockpuppetsociety@lemmy.ca) Message or reply if you want to be a mod The community was started after this post: https://lemmy.ca/comment/5057563 > When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it's communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg? Someone mentioned how Reddit used to sockpuppet to fake engagement, and Lemmy DOES need some new and original communities, so here You can make posts about sockpuppets reenacting real life events using any format you want! For example: - You can doodle on a napkin - You can use MS Paint - You can use REAL paints - You can use generative AI - You can use real sock puppets - You can pose an old sock in a weird way

Join us at the front gate to welcome new users into Lemmy, and to the Fediverse as a whole! Links: - !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca - [/c/newtolemmy](/c/newtolemmy@lemmy.ca) --- I'm hoping this community will encourage new people to do things like the following: > - share what you're looking for, or what you want to do. We'll help you find it > - Ask questions! The Fediverse is new to most people. If you're unsure about something, others are unsure as well. > - Just smile and wave, maybe someone will wave back 👋 --- I searched around for a bit and didn't see a community for this purpose, so I made this one. If you have suggestions, have resources for the new users, or want to help moderate, let me know!

I'm setting up the first round now. Please join early, so you will be notified when we start. You can also make your own game in addition to the community wide one. **How to play?** Until we get a Fediverse version of this, you will need a Spotify account.
