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.

I’m not a professional designer per se, but before I dropped out of college I was going for graphic design XD so I put together some quick ideas, if you’re still looking for a logo

Let me know if another mod is still needed for number 1 here. Seems like the other new mod hasn’t been checking in as often and I’m happy to help out.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

I’ve set you as a moderator now. Thanks for the offer to help.

I’m still fairly new to Lemmy, so I don’t think I’m suitable to be a moderator just yet…

But this community reminds me of my old Reddit community /r/lostnotes.

I’m out of town and busy today, but if you’d like, you’re welcome to dig through my old sub and post the links here.

Hi, I’m probably as new to Lemmy as you, but the whole idea of modding is making sense. Especially in this community where the rules are really clear “post songs and don’t be an asshole” so far, except for that Dolly Parton incident there wasn’t any problem.

If you don’t feel like it, don’t worry. If so, I’ll just make you a mod and lurk in the background. …

I’ve looked through /r/lostnotes it’s not exactly what /c/connectasong is about, but it is close enough :-)

Nah, sorry, I’ll have to pass on being a moderator, I’m rarely on my computer these days, and when I am I’m usually tinkering around with emulating and modding legacy operating systems.

Depending on exactly what’s needed, I may be able to help mod. I have absolutely no design skills so I wouldn’t be any good for #2, and can barely code my way out of a paper bag, so #3 is pretty much out, too.

Hi.

1 is the most urgent one, as I’m going on vacation tomorrow, and I don’t know how available I’ll be. I’m adding you as mod.

3 if you want to learn to code, that’s a good opportunity 😁 I’ll handle that later.

2 is the mostly problematic. I’ll try to do something, but like you, I have no design skills.

It’s fairly simple: as long as no one is posting some toxic shit (didn’t happen so far) - you don’t have to do much; if you don’t see any connection between songs, ask the poster to clarify.

That’s pretty much it.

Connect A Song

!connectasong@lemmy.world

Create post

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

Example links:

  • Word appearing in the title of both songs
  • Lead singer has the same name (or is the same person)
  • Guitar solo is similar between the song
  • Appearing in the same film
  • A specific sentence that appears in both songs
  • The mother of the guy who built the guitar used in this song was working in the vegan fish&chips stand where the woman singing the song you picked met her second husband
