Soundalikes - A new community for music lovers for posting songs that sound like other songs!

Soundalikes - kbin.social

https://kbin.social/m/Soundalikes

Ever listen to a song and think oh shit this totally reminds me of another song?...

I've always had fun recognizing links between songs across genres. I'm sure there are others who get a kick out of it too. Come and share what's caught your ear!

Pardon my ignorance. How does on3i join this from lemmy? The link just brings me to the kbin website and asks me to login.

Try that

It should be https://[your instance]/c/[kbin magazine name]@[kbin instance]

Do note that if you are the first person on your instance to try this, the URL will fail, and you will have to try again a bit later once your instance has had some time to make a copy of the magazine. Also, if you see a “Pending Subscription” message, in my experience, that does not resolve itself, and you will just need to try again a bit later and it will go through instantly.

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.

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.
