@lemmy.globe.pubHello - I’m relatively new to this ghost town node :). I created !finance@lemmy.globe.pub a few months ago to have a place to discuss foreign exchange and making payments abroad, which was lacking in the whole threadiverse.
Anyway, I’m trying to create another new community with these parameters:
But when clicking the “create” button, it just spins for a moment and goes back to a create button. No error message, but will not move forward.
Has community creation been disabled? I noticed a strange new group called “G's Chicken and Waffles” which actually just has posts about the Ruby programming language. So I wonder if that possible spam/abuse might have led to restrictions on creating communities.
(edit)
Perhaps it should be slightly broader than navigation tech, and be “travel technology”, which could then cover, idk, things like tourist review software or the ITA software app. Though it would probably still be primarily navigation tech that people discuss.
Hi! I'm Jet.
I live in Singapore, I love to travel and explore. I'm lucky to be able to work from anywhere, I'm a big believer in spontaneous trips!
I've been to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan.
I want to explore and see more of the world and really get into the way people live and experience life.
Hi everyone! I'm Matt, the admin of this instance.
I put together Globe.pub after leaving Reddit and wishing that alternatives existed for the communities that I used to frequent there. I'm a software engineer in my work, so starting up a Lemmy server has been a good test of my skills.
Some places I've been:
These days I'm trying to travel internationally more – as much as my job allows – and I'm getting into scuba as an inexpensive adventure hobby. I'm looking forward to traveling to warm water locations to get those dives under my belt.
I'd love to hear about you too – please post your own intro here in Main!
Hello travelers!
I'm doing some brief server maintenance to update globe.pub to 0.18.4 and do some other networking housekeeping. Please expect some downtime over the next couple of hours.
Welcome to Globe.pub, a friendly community for travelers! This is Main, our community for general travel discussion.
Please introduce yourself here – we would love to meet you! Make a post, tell us a little bit about yourself and what you like most about traveling.
Visiting a new place for the first time can be intimidating, but it’s always easier when you have help from friends. My goal is for us to build a community where travelers can give helpful advice, share their unique experiences, and learn from each other.
These rules are described in detail on our website. Report posts that break the rules using the 🚩
button and admins will take a look promptly.
Signups are open. You're welcome to make an account on Globe.pub and start posting. We're connected to other Lemmy instances and you're welcome to use your Globe.pub account on other Fediverse sites.
Community creation is open. Are you enthusiastic about a particular kind of travel or a particular area of the world? Create a community and start posting! You'll have a brand new space to attract other travelers who want to talk about your topic.
What should I post? Anything related to travel is welcome here. Here are some ideas:
I'm a professional infrastructure engineer running this server in my spare time with my own money. I do my best to preserve your data and keep the site running, but I'm not perfect. I do not provide any guarantees for uptime or durability. There is a chance your data may disappear at any time without warning, but I promise I'm doing my best to keep that from happening – this is my home Lemmy instance, and I want to do right by you.
This server is hosted on a dedicated bare-metal instance located in a datacenter in the US. I do not provide any particular guarantees regarding the safety of your data, and I cannot safeguard your data against, for example, search and seizure by government officials. Do not use Lemmy to share sensitive information.
If something isn't working as you expect, please email me at matt@globe.pub.

Entitlement and endless optimization have turned travel into an unfun bloodsport.
