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?

    some good comments here, I’d just add two things:

    • be genuine in your posts
    • don’t post to lots of communities at the same time - I will ban posters if I see 3 or more posts landing on my instance

    But other than than I hope to see you OC sometime

      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!
