Alright, but what if my music is applicable to more than one community? Like, it's a punk album, so I'll probably post it on the music communities and the punk communities, as well as the aforementioned !imadethis@lemm.ee. Not trying to spam, but just typing "music" in the search bar brings up five communities where my content would be applicable. Good looking out though, that's why I asked!

No problem! It's worth noting that both of those non-FOSS plugins I mentioned are both free as in "free beer", so if you need a good auto tune and/or fancy chorus, check those out!

Thanks! You'd be the guy to know what communities go with which posts haha

Awesome, thanks for the advice! And I will for sure let you know when I upload it somewhere, but I can tell you the tools I use right now! I've got Ardour for my DAW, I'm using a mix of the Ardour community plugins, LSP parametric equalizer, Calf compressor, and the two non-FOSS ones are Graillon 3 auto tune and Acon Digital Multiply. Drums are via Hydrogen, with the Ian Paice and Travis Barker drumkits from sourceforge, and I think I yanked Dave Grohl's toms for one song. Some other various drum effects I got off of Pixabay. The main album art is going to be handmade because I suck at GIMP, but if I get enough support to make like, a vinyl pressing or something, then I'll include all my failed attempts at album art in the liner notes lol

For sure, that's why I was asking about an "imadethis" community, like a community explicitly for self-promotion. Looks like there is one on lemm.ee, so I'll definitely post there once I am truly finished with the thing.

Thanks! Yeah, me too lol, it'd be kind of a bummer to have put all this work into it and then no one listens to my tunes! Most of them are pretty good!

Yeah, fair enough, just thought I'd get a feel for the vibe before I just did the thing. It's probably gonna be at least a month before I release anything, but like I said in the post, I don't see other musicians posting their stuff here, so I just wanted to make sure it was cool.

Yeah, I just wanted to hit all the ask communities, get a broad spectrum of answers.

Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I've been working on a solo project, and I'm kinda close to being finished with it! It's a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn't have good open-source alternatives)!

I've seen other folks promote their games here, but so far I haven't seen any music done this way, and I was wondering if it's maybe not allowed? Some sort of Lemmy faux pas? If it is, indeed, allowed, then what communities would be amenable to maybe a twice weekly post? Should one make their own community for this purpose? What about a general purpose community for self-promotion, i.e. "imadethis" back on the old place? As you can see, much to consider. (I don't have anything out yet, so this post in itself is not self-promotion.)

What say ye, o wise Lemmings?

What's a good co-op RTS for the Switch? (startrek.website)
 

For backstory: My partner and I have been playing Super Mario Party so long that it's gotten boring. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is coming up), and I thought something like that would be cool. If X-COM 2 had a local co-op on the Switch, I'd do that, but is there something similar?

I can see saved posts all day, but saved comments, well that's an issue. It was easy on the previous iteration, just wondering why I can't find it now.

[HELP] How to change default home (startrek.website)
 

My current "default home" when you open the app or click the home button is set to "Subscribed Top Six Hour". I would like to change that to "All Top Six Hour", but I can't seem to find where to do this. Android app, btw.
