Oh, nice to see more topic-specific instances. Would you be interested in joining https://fediverser.network to add the instance and its communities to its database?

I made the community, not the instance. Not sure if that's what you're asking. Haha.

Okay, I signed up with the community (wasn't sure if I should the instance since I didn't make it. Not sure on etiquette there). Also submitted an application to be an ambassador for the community. I chose community forum for the category, as there isn't an option for faith & spirituality/religious content. If it's within your purview, I'd suggest adding that as a category. Lemmy doesn't have a ton, but there are a few around here. Especially when moving toward the wicca and pagan end of the spectrum. Cool folks at the witchy memes community, for instance.

The instance gets automatically created once you create the community. ;)

I created a "Religion and Spirituality" category and added to your community.

Regarding the other communities, feel free to add them even if you don't have any more information about it. The whole database works as wiki and is meant to be built collaboratively.

How do I use it to find new communities? Might be a mobile browser issue, but when I try, it doesn't populate a list in the subreddits section. Was hoping to see if there were some alternatives to my former subs

Does it work if you go to https://fediverser.network/subreddits/create ?

Depends, I might be using it wrong. If I try to type in a subreddit, I get a 500 error

If you are seeing a 500 error, then it's definitely an error on the server side. I will investigate it and let you know when I find the fix. Just to confirm: are you logged in when you access the site?

mentioning religion here is brave

People are gonna people, let 'em people . Frankly, most of the folks angry at religions/the religious have pretty solid reasons to be. Not my place to be rankled by it

And most folks angry at religion aren't angry at the ECUSA.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

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.

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.
