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.

Embarrassing ๐ญ lmao. Set it up too quickly. Well ill move it over and update the links
Just don't misspell it "satinism." Satin is a nice fabric, but not nice enough to worship.
Indeed! I think I did it right this time, lmao.
Link is broken for me
Updated the post with a full link incase the otherone doesnt work. The first one seems inconsistent, but the 2nd should always work.
I'm not a member of TST or a satanist per se, would you mind explaining the difference? Is it more that TST is a form of satanism?
Sure, I can give it my best shot! I may be a bit biased myself toward the CoS, so that's worth keeping in mind.
The Church of Satan is the original form of satanism (They consider themselves to be the only form of satanism). They are based on the teachings of Anton LaVey, who wrote The Satanic Bible in 1966. It is a religion formed on individualism and ritual, treating yourself as your own god, and generally has a philosophy that they adhere to. Generally, the church does not take any form of political stance itself, leaving that up to their members to decide where each of them reside. It is a religion that can apply to all spectrums of someone's opinions.
The Satanic Temple, is a leftist political activism group. They are the ones who are suing in all of these court cases you hear about. They take a very firm left stance on human rights in general, which I can commend. But in terms of an actual religion, their philosophy is pretty thin, with their tenants consisting of pretty common sense notions.
My personal issue with TST is the alleged accusations of their founder, Lucien Greaves, and a friend of his, being pretty bigoted individuals. From running a eugenics website for several years, to running a podcast where they spew hateful remarks at pretty much anyone you can think of. Also, the recent allegations that the administration is covering for sexual abusers, and have been hitting people with SLAPP suits when they come forward.
If you're interested, you can read up on someone who is getting SLAPP suited by them here
That's fantastic, thank you for all the information, I appreciate you taking the time and effort, that helps a LOT.
No problem! Glad to help!
