For crossword enthusiasts.

I always loved checking the crossword subreddit daily for the discussions, so it would be awesome to see more activity around it on Lemmy!

Any discussion of Cryptic crosswords or is this focused mainly on quick crosswords?

Glad to see I’m not the only one who would be interested in a community for cryptic crosswords!

I can’t connect to this community because of lemmy.world being down but I guess it would be about American crosswords.

Edit: Yep, all the posts are New York Times crosswords. It would not be a good place to post about cryptics. I will be subscribing though because I also enjoy the NYT-style puzzles!

I'm posting the daily NYT there just to keep things familiar for those coming from /r/crossword.

I don't think there should be an issue with discussing cryptic crosswords on !crossword@lemmy.world.

I've come across !cruciverbalism@lepmmy.sdf.org and !CrypticCrosswords@chirp.social but they're currently empty.

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.
