Introducing the lemmy.zip Apple community. For all your Apple news.

This new community is primarily for keeping up to date with news about Apple and Apple devices and software. But instead of simply posting a link to an article on another website (anyone can do that) all the news content posted by the mods will be entirely readable on Lemmy.

Having a news centric community on Lemmy instead of a dedicated website has some major advantages.

Because there is no website to promote and drive traffic to there is no need for click bait headlines. Because there are no server fees there’s no reason to have ads or sponsored articles.

I’m not in it to make money. I’m here because I enjoy wring about the Apple devices and talking about them with other like minded people. Lemmy allows me to do that without worrying about hosting fees, domain name fees and SEO.

Obviously the community is more than welcome and encouraged to post about anything related to Apple, ask for help and advice or just to talk.

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.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

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

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.
