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

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

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:

[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.

TLDR

From right now and until April 1st, discuss with your country's community on Lemmy about which song to send and share to the Fediverse.
On April 1st, voting will begin, where you will rank your favourite songs. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
On April 8th, results of everyone's favourite songs will be published.
Join us at !lemmyvision@jlai.lu for any question, this will be the community for updates and results, make sure to subscribe if you'd like to stay in the loop.

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to launch Lemmyvision, a Eurovision-like Song Contest for Lemmy communities around the world ! I'd love for people across Lemmy to participate, I hope it will bring people together through our diverse taste of music, so join us if you'd like to discover new music and culture from around the world!

What is Lemmyvision?

Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).
Every country is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only”. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists. I hope to make it a regular event, so hopefully this works well for the first edition!

I'm going to try and share the word across Lemmy, don't hesitate if you want to crosspost to your country's community!

You can find more information on !lemmyvision@jlai.lu, don't hesitate if you have questions or suggestions, or would like to help!

See you soon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Any affiliation with FediVision or is this a whole separate contest? If so you might need rules about whether people can submit songs to both!

I'm in for following this either way though, Eurovision fiend that I am.

Wow I never heard about FediVision thanks for pointing it out!

I guess it's not related, FediVision seems to be a contest for musicians of the Fediverse to submit their own songs, while Lemmyvision would be about sharing songs from people's respective countries, so I guess both can coexist, but I need to specify this.

I'm definitely going to check out FediVision! 😄

Ohhhh! Ok I getcha, I read it as being songs by Lemmy users, that was just my brain filling in the blanks I think. Yeah, completely different thing, ignore me 😅

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 4 months ago

Nah don't worry that's on me, I should have worded it clearer haha

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sounds cool!

Feel free to share this on other places, like !fediverse@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 4 points 4 months ago

Thanks for the links!!

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can I submit my own song?

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 9 points 4 months ago

I'd like to keep it a community effort, so in a way, you could submit your own song to your community and hope you all agree to submit it, otherwise, @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee made me aware of Fedision (https://fedivision.party/) which invites musicians from the Fediverse to submit their own songs!
