What languages should a site start out with?
This is important in the future for me. Right now, I have a few forums which have a Spanish and Russian category and another site for my forum but in French.

(ProBoards forum) How to add text to a custom page?
Hello, I’m currently trying to figure out how to make an intro page for my ProBoards forum but can’t seem to figure out how to add text. I can choose to add a post, but it keeps telling me “invalid Post ID” and I cannot find any sort of “post ID” except for the post URL and it doesn’t work when I type the URL in. Can someone help me out? Thanks a bunch!

Proud that I made the site. With 9 users so far. Also, how does it look sketchy? Spammy, I understand. Sketchy with 0 pages? How?


What are you even talking about? That’s my girlfriend and she’s a different person.


She’s just proud and trying to boost my site


(Saw a post here before about this so) scientifically, why do we as people/organisms feel threatened by “erratic” behavior?
Maybe it’s like my experience: They act quite defensive and only hang out with a few people. It seems they feel threatened by “outsiders”. Even when they’re not hurting is, we in turn feel threatened as well. Why is that? Often, these people themselves are seen as outsiders, maybe picked on, went through trauma, etc. And even I don’t want to feel such a way, but I do feel some sort of “uncanny valley” by their behavior.

Is there an active Lemmy community dedicated to site promotion?
I want to promote my site but I don’t want to be disruptive

there is, but certain users get downvoted



These people sound verbally abusive. No, this is not a normal response.



could perhaps be BPD as well but I’m not a professional and have little psychiatric knowledge



Bipolar here. I saw you had Bipolar, it’s possible that she might. I used to think that people didn’t care about me either due to my attachment issues.


Do I have to purchase a domain to make an instance here?
I'm gonna ask my Abuelo for a USB so I can run Etcher and Yunohost for my instance. I want to choose the name craigsworld.net (like how lemmy.world's creator chose lemmy.world). How does the site naming through Yunohost work? How much does it cost?

One of these days, I plan to create my own Lemmy instance. What’s the best way to filter out weirdos during registration?
I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions? I have some ideas, but I’m looking for more, actual ideas from the Lemmy community. Ex: (if I make it a 13+ instance) What age range do you plan on interacting with? What do you plan on talking about with these people? What do you plan to do here?
