As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

Is there a community where I could share my favorite Japanese music discoveries once a month? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't know whether anyone would be interested since I'm just a random person haha, but I want to start doing this for myself even without posting it. But since I'd be doing it, I thought I might as well post it.

However, I couldn't find a suitable community. There's !japanesemusic@feddit.de, but they have some rules that would conflict with what I would post. "Title of music posts should contain "Artist - Title" in Romaji, optionally additional tags like [year] [genre]", which doesn't work if the post would contain multiple songs. Also "Do not submit more than one link by the same artist per day", since it's highly likely at least one artist will show up with more than 1 song in any given month.

I found some other Japanese Music related communities too, but they're genre-specific, like City Pop.

Thanks for any help, but if there's no such community, that's also fine!

Well, I guess this shows my on-and-off existence on Lemmy thus far. I had no idea that instance wasn't online anymore. I had subscribed to it way back. Not that it would've been fitting given those rules anyway, but that's good to know, so thanks for letting me know.

I'll look more into what creating my own community would entail.

It's not too involved. Let me know if you run into trouble.

Edit: jus make sure you don't unselect "Undetermined" as a language option.

I ended up creating it and damn, note to self: don't do that at night when you're a bit tired already. Somehow I read your comment without the "don't", which... makes a difference haha.

I added "Undetermined" now, so I'm guessing it's not really an issue beyond the community being visible to less people for its first 10-or-so minutes?

Correct

Why that? I did that for my community, and only selected "English".

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Because some apps don't let you pick language when posting/commenting and will default to undetermined and some users probably didn't set their language in their profile.

To maximize the amount of people who can see or participate you should have both selected.
