Covid Conscious - Lemmy.World

lemmy.world

Some of us are still regularly taking precautions above and beyond what the general population is taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This community is a place for us “Covid Conscious” individuals to support each other. If this doesn’t describe you but you’re considering becoming so, or if you have general good-faith questions for Covid Conscious individuals, you’re welcome to post here as well. Don’t post here pushing any conspiracy theories or agendas antithetical to the purpose of this community. Follow the Lemmy instance rules. No personal attacks on other Lemmings. Generally be nice and try not to be the person who necessitates more rules.

!covidconscious@lemmy.world

There are other communities for discussion of COVID-19, but none really on this topic.

As someone who still masks and isolates, I can’t imagine I’m the only one, and I’m guessing there are enough people with relevant things to talk about to make an active community.

Tuberculosis would be a good one. It’s another very deadly and common disease people think is no longer around.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances 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.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

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.
