A community to send a song based on the last song that was posted. Make sure to sort by new.

Yes, I've migrated (duplicated) from reddit.

Rules:

  1. Have fun
  2. When you post new songs, make sure to sort the posts by "new"
  3. Any excuse works for the connection between the songs (see examples below) but put your reasoning in the post body
  4. Wait a couple of hours after posting before you post again if no one posts after you
  5. Be polite and excellent to each other!
  6. Songs in any language is welcome, but make sure you add explanation in English

As expected, me, as a single mod, requires some help. I'll keep this post pinned and update it when needed. At the moment, what the community needs (except for more active users) is:

  1. Another mod, even if there is not a lot of work to do, I'd still be happy if we can have redundancy.
  2. Design for the community logo and banner.
  3. A bot to update the sidebar - this is something I can do myself, only it will take me sometime to get there.

Some ideas for the banner (let me know if you like any of these, they are some AI generations I "created" using MS designer, I am a procreate artist, so if you do not like AI art I can recreate them based on any of these ideas. But they look somewhat decent. "Two music notes kissing" and "Two records holding hands", lol)

Hi,

Thanks so much! This is a cool idea. Two thoughts about the images:

  1. I prefer man-made than AI-generated. So if you can recreate this, after having the final design, I'd prefer that. Of course, our time is limited, and you are doing this for free, so I'm not going to demand anything from you.
  2. I think it's a bit two happy-smiling-kissing-bees. I would like to see some representation of the various musical styles. Like, showing in the background some factories (industrial), sea (surf music), etc. The last one, with the street lights, shows that to some level. (Other members, feel free to suggest ideas)

Actually, three things,

If you have the time and energy, maybe you can add more style to the community logo? If @GeneralVincent@lemmy.world agrees.

Hi, sorry for my silence. A lot is happening in my personal life.

I like it. Thank you. Should I use this version for the background, or do you have a higher resolution one.

Also, is it possible to make the records a bit blurry? Or just the edges of the entire image a bit blurry. Do you think it would look better?

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Whichever version you like best. I didn't realize 'postimages' site might have reduced the resolution. These are originals in PNG.

Great! Thanks!

I'll figure out how to do this tomorrow.

On browser, on the community page sidebar area above the join button, there is an edit icon (box with pencil). Click that and there is a button to upload banner.
