I’ll probably step away from socials completely, other than YouTube, and my music sharing account on bluesky.

It has been a blast, and I wish you the best!

Thanks for sticking around this community! It genuinely means a lot.

I tried sharing the link again and it seems to be working. I went to a private tab and asked someone else to open it to see if it was a privacy setting I had on, but it seems to open everywhere I’ve tried.

I don’t know if this helps, but here’s the handle: @piklradio.bsky.social‬

Thanks, for being subscribed!

I wish you the best.

I think I will let that be handled by someone else this time around. I’m at a much different stage of my life since I first began doing this, and I am stepping away from social media. I’ve already cut down to only using socials (excluding YouTube), to once a week, if even that.

It’s been such a fun run, in the communities, but hopefully someone will make a community with the same level of passion I had when I first made it. Now my attention is going elsewhere to new passions.

Thank you for offering to copy and paste, feel more than welcome to take that over if you choose to do so, if not, then I appreciate you being around!

From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem to be a great process and requires an account from the instance you want to transfer to, to have been subscribed since the beginning. It also doesn’t seem to transfer comments or anything.

I’m thinking about how I want to approach this. I might honestly move to a mastodon, or bluesky setup, with a couple of YouTube playlists. I have no idea. I honestly didn’t see the notice for my instance shutting down until I saw your comment, so kind of running through the options. I’ll likely make a local backup of the pages, so I don’t lose what was posted and maybe manually start posting everything wherever I decide to go. I’m going to make a community post soon in my communities, but I need to nail down where I’m going first.

Truly appreciate the heads up. I have no idea how I didn’t see this in my feed the past few days.

Gotcha, it’s all good. I’m sure adultswim.fan will be happy to have some more users. Hopefully our community will appreciate the more active community. Thanks for moderating with me!

I’ve been around still, mostly just lurking for a couple of minutes at a time. With Lemm.ee shutting down, I have no problem with that. You can fully take over this community.

That genuinely makes me so happy to hear. I really appreciate you sticking around for so long too! I hope this acts as a treasure trove for whoever stumbles upon it.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing Spotify news! I love the work you put into staying on top of it for everyone. It’s a really cool thing you do for us

Totally agree. I don’t have the energy to fight a battle on his behalf, so I put it out there to avoid it. I found it to be helpful for people starting out and wanted to share it.

Thank, you! I love getting recommendations too. I checked them both out and those were great suggestions! I’ll be adding them to my wishlist.

Make sure to check out the album! It’s equally as good

It entirely depends where you live. You can pay certain organizations for blanket rights to most songs and it’s extremely expensive.

Some options if you still want to broadcast are:

• Use royalty free music/public domain
• Go to Bandcamp/YouTube/Soundcloud and ask smaller artists permission to play their music on your station
• Ask around your local scene and see if artists around your area give you permission to play their music.
• Roll the dice and hope for obscurity to keep you safe

Currently I opted to put everything behind a password and only use it for myself. Once I’m more confident on building solid programming, I might look into starting a station for local and small artists with their permission.

Thanks for sharing. I wanted something like this

Last one: RhythmVerse

Also the spreadsheet if you aren’t already aware.

Yeah, I honestly don’t like the downvote button for that reason. I don’t care about my post getting hated, I’d just like to know why.

I did somehow. Thanks for the heads up, it’s fixed now

Hey, sorry that happened and for the late reply, but I really liked it! I hadn’t heard any of the songs listed before.

Thanks for subbing! I really just like sharing music I find. I’ll be making more posts off and on. I take breaks from social media every now and then.
