your local library is also a great option
I'll never downplay a library. They're wonderful. But I'm talking more about how we make the Fediverse more and more valuable. Yes go to the library and then share what you find on the Fediverse.

I want to create a beat making community and make it live, post pro tips and things I watch and learned but the problem is that I don't have much time aside from work nowadays and so setting up that routine of making a community live is hard.
I think I should at least try tho
Absolutely! Or start having conversations in a current community and if enough are interested build a new community. I've been adding content to my little communities and even though they're not very active I just keep posting. The founders of Reddit said they had multiple accounts and were acting like it was social until it took off. I'm not saying we got to that length, because I find that creepy, but we need that tenacity.
It's crazy because I typed beatmaking into Lemmy and found a post I made a while ago :)) (because it's so empty about this subject)
That's ok! It happens. maybe fokls don't know it exists! Are there other communities that align with beat making? Maybe start there and talk with folks there?
No I meant that positively: Lemmy doesn't seem to know about music making yet :)) I've only found my content when typing into the search bar !
I need to create this :) Let me look how to do it with Voyager
I'll say this, Owncast has quite a few streamers into music as well. A lot of folks looked for alternative music making platforms during Covid, because as Gabe Kangas told me, Twitch was cracking down while everyone was home. Maybe check there as well for a community?
That would be amazing, at the moment I feel a little down because I need to unlearn a lot of beginner things I did to progress and it's very hard.
I've been stuck only making loop and no songs, so I gotta unlearn most of what I know and start again if I want to finish my songs.
So I'll maybe go there to have some advice ehehe
Best way imo is to talk to folks. Find a mentor. Even folks I never thought would know about X had thoughts or suggestions. Hell my wife just helped me with a thumbnail and she's not an artist, but she's been doing school presentations and had massively useful constructive criticism. :-)
I have my close friends that help and motivate me a lot but... I originally live in France and moved to Canada for a job.
I'm completely uprooted now and don't know anyone in Toronto. In case you're wondering why someone would abandon their life to move to Canada, I'm 18 and wanted to explore the world (still do), have a taste of the possibilities.
I'm happy with it, I'm just a little bit lonely since I arrived one month ago ;) so music making is hard alone, you constantly have to reinvent yourself and have lots of self-awarness
Dude, you never need to justify why you do things. Your life is your own, no one fully understands it but you and even YOU might not understand it. I say go for it. Grow your community!
I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing at the moment, I just know I've been learning a lot everyday so I guess it's better than where I was in university :)
I'm doing programming work (back-end) and having a blast but I'm a bit sweaty from all the work !
Never stop learning! Never stop growing! Never stop evolving! We're here for a short time, keep moving forward in whatever that is to you. :-)
I was looking through my old published songs and because I thought they were pretty good I feel reassured in my ability to make stuff: https://on.soundcloud.com/U4bALULVsNwnqxoW8
I'm currently creating it using the website and I feel so quirky trying to come up with the community title. I think I'm gonna keep it simple lol
EDIT: here it is, ([email protected] I need to make it look better tho
I have been trying to do that since I came here because you are precisely right google has become at best broken at worst an agent actively trying to manipulate you and reddit is entirely untrustable, keep doing what you are doing and don't forget to have fun while you are doing the right thing!
Thank you so much! It's nice to know others agree. I've been so concerned with all of this, thinking I'm the only one thinking this, but I'm not. We're ALL thinking this. And I've been having an absolute BLAST. Not just for myself, but doing my Fireside Fedi show and even working towards setting up my nonprofit BT Free. We'll see where it all goes. Maybe it just us, but at least we have each other. :-) Thank you for the kind words of support. <3
