This Community is not endorsed in any way by Linden Labs and no infringement on their trademarks is intended. This Community will accept all reasonable posts on Second Life, please follow the server-wide rules and mark NSFW posts as such. Do not post content that is illegal in your jurisdiction or might get the instance owner in legal trouble in some other major jurisdiction. Promotion of SL businesses, blogs, Discord servers and similar SL related commercial content is acceptable as long as you do not overdo it with frequency. Second Life is a 3D virtual world where almost all the content is user generated. It has been around since 2002 and publicly since 2003 and has developed significantly since then. Unlike games Second Life and other virtual worlds do not have built-in goals, levels or similar mechanisms. You can think of it more like a place or a platform. Individual locations and groups in Second Life might offer some or all the features a game might have but Second Life (SL) as a whole does not. Second Life has a wide range of ages, countries of origin, languages, interests and professions among its residents and is not limited to the typical gamer. It offers many activities from building, landscaping and decoration over taking pictures and visiting art galleries, attending parties and live concerts, roleplay, travel by and racing a wide variety of vehicles in addition to the built-in teleports, combat both in vehicles and on foot as well as a number of adult activities. And of course you can make great friends and do all of those together. The Second Life servers are often referred to as “The Grid” of if you want to distinguish the production and preview grids as Agni and Aditi. The OpenSim project is essentially an open source implementation of the server side of SL. The Second Life client is called a viewer and apart from the official one there is a number of popular third party options.

  Oh, it has been updated regularly over the years. Currently they are in the process of adding PBR to the viewer’s rendering. Avatars today look (if they choose to look that way) very realistic compared to the early days.

Create a post

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

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:

[email protected]

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.
