Is there a template for rules? Rules for rules? Is there a lot of spam and abuse requiring moderation?
Are most communities ghost towns? How do you grow? Can discussion threads be cross posted?
Thanks for any discussion!
You have to abide to the rules of the instance in which the community/magazine is. Any extra rules in the community are up to you. And yes most communities are are ghost towns especially if they are about something more niche or with a smaller audience. Usually the way to grow them is to create content to attract new users, nobody wants to join an empty community after all. You could also try to advertise it on !newcommunities or something similar to gather some attention. I hope my answer was helpful, that’s just my experience, I’d be interesting to hear others’.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !newcommunities@lemmy.world
