Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.

now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?

At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).

Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.

P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.

    Pro or no. I’m looking for people with the spark for music. It sounds like you are getting your feet wet as a generalist. Singing and lryicism is my main, but I dabble in the rest to pull together recordings of what’s in my head. Nice to meet you. What communities would you like to see more active on Lemmy. And have you subbed to similar ones already?

      Nice to meet you too! Writing lyrics is one of the biggest blocks between me and putting together complete songs of my own, which is a little galling because I have been paid many times for non-lyric creative writing. I just need to practice more until I can do it (or find someone who has lyrics but doesn’t know what to put under them, I suppose)

      I dabble in the rest to pull together recordings of what’s in my head

      This is exactly how it happened for me, yeah! I had ideas and I wanted to actually hear them, and the rest sprang from there

      I’m not a particularly heavy fediverse user, but I am subscribed to !guitars@lemmy.world. No matter how much I enjoy trying out different aspects of musicianship and putting them together, there is no doubt that my first love is guitars

      I wonder if a more general community for music creation would be a better approach? Seeing as we’re a relatively small number of people here it’s maybe more useful to specialise the community less just for the sake of gathering more of us together? I don’t know a damn thing about running or promoting communities though

        That’s the thing though. Sub to specific and sub to general, it only takes a few seconds and it’s free. So no real downside
