When you announce new music you have created, which hashtags should you use to help people find it?

I'm drafting an initial proposal on the.socialmusic.network/t/hash -- feedback welcome!

The Social Music Network · Hashtag coordination across the FediverseOk, so thinking about a toot on social media when announcing a new song/album. Which tag categories could it cover? Required tags Meaning, is there a good reason not to use these? [artist] - Yes, a tag for you. They are free and they can connect all the toots about you, posted by yourselves, fans, media… #mymusic - identifies the music created by the poster. #newmusic - identifies new releases. [language] - the language used in the lyrics - or specify whether it’s instrumental. [basic genre] ...

Yesterday I met @prinlu in person for the first time! I enjoyed the set, from experimental to very danceable. I really really enjoyed the conversations.

I also met @dlikdh for the first time, and I didn’t know I had such a cool neighbor in Köln. Same with #Kunstwerk what an impressive community project! The whole evening was very inspiring and very warm (mentally; the actual temperature was trending to chilly, but I came prepared).

This is my Social Music Network website bootstrapping log:

the.socialmusic.network/t/boot

Seven days from a Discourse vanilla installation to a fully featured community space. I'm very happy I started it spontaneously. I think it can be useful to anyone planning to create a new Discourse-based forum. I know I will get back to it the next time I bootstrap one.

Social Music Network · Bootstrapping The Social Music Network(A timeline goes here.) I have just purchased a virtual server on Hetzner (2 CPUs, 4Gb, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS). Installed Discourse. Opened registration. Starting to invite early adopters, knowing that nothing has been done yet. Next: basic review to the Discourse settings, draft a welcome message explaining the basic idea of this project, and create a skeleton of categories. Post a first version of the code of conduct. If you are reading this, WELCOME! 🎉 If you have any questions or want to ...

This weekend I want to install #LibreTranslate by @argosopentech in our server, next to #Discourse Translator by @Discourse and the Multilingual Plugin by Pavilion (which --small world-- I helped design in my professional role years ago).

I'm quite intimidated because I haven't touched LibreTranslate ever and I haven't found a guide connecting these pieces.

But social music lovers deserve a multilingual space, so here we go. Links welcome!

The Social Music Network · A multilingual communityI have been thinking… and I believe we should go for the full package: enable automatic translation and let everyone post in their preferred language anywhere (except topics or areas specifically designated for a specific language). In theory, this is doable thanks to several giant’s shoulders: Interface language Discourse already allows user to select the language of the interface. We just have to enable this setting.

Are you a social music lover and do you speak a language other than English?

We want to make #TheSocialMusicNetwork a truly multilingual space (if it's monolingual, it's not my revolution) 😉

the.socialmusic.network/t/a-mu

We encourage you to start a meeting point for your language. I just created ones for español and català.

Non-Latin scripts and right-to-left languages especially wanted!
