Per the community sidebar -
Your own music is also acceptable here
Let's hear it!
seems like a good way to grow the community as long as you aren't spamming it.
Please escape this mentality, share your music.
Think about all the music you hear throughout your day and life, in grocery stores, in tv and movies, the radio, blasting from car stereos, podcasts, youtube. You did not choose that, but I doubt you complain about it.
Do not let celebrities be the only people empowered to share music.
Share you music, don't even ask permission.
Music is music. As long as you aren't spamming your own stuff every hour or day I don't see why anyone could have a problem with it.
I've been looking for communities for people who make music. Have you found anything?
I've been searching for the same thing without too much luck so far. The Guitar community seems to be pretty active so far, but that's not my primary interest. There's a Drums community that I hope will take off. r/drums was one of my favorite reddit subs along with r/wearethemusicmakers. Hoping to see something similar here.
Oh yeah, I forgot about drums. I haven't searched for that yet.
Instead of trying each community one at a time I decided to make a list of ones to try at some point when things calm down.
I'm on vlemmy and noticed that some of the searches I made last night are starting to pop up in the results today so things are definitely working.
You're probably not interested in all of these but there is a wearethemusicmakers community in this list.
I used https://browse.feddit.de/ btw.

I've been doing something similar to index as much as I can of the music communities, but it seems to have been buried with recent postings (a good thing in my opinion). You can find my index of music communities I've found and have been updating here:
Nice. Thanks for the links.
I ended up making a new account on lemmy.studio so what I might do is search for all the ones in your list so they appear in the lemmy.studio communities.
Spin that shit DJ!
Let's hear it!
I'm happy to see some music being shared here! My band just released an album recently, some midwest emo/alt rock stuff! https://open.spotify.com/album/0IlDVbWeSXL62mOBgCVjyO?si=9eajTbomQh6cLQT9l_UsPA
Your album art is awesome! Your voice or vocalist has a nostalgic sound for me. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!! I'm the vocalist, and definitely still on the journey towards not hating the sound of my own voice :) the compliment is much appreciated!
The literal meaning of something about driving really made me feel seen as a former trucker. Some days man and you can't ever stop until you pull up to your house and hop out where it no longer really feels like home so you get tired of that feeling and get back in the truck and make some money to spend on pointless stuff you never get to enjoy.
It started off so well, how'd it end so badly.
One good thing, it taught me persistence. Don't quit, quitting isn't a choice afforded to you.
As long as your open about it being self promotion, or that it's you. I used to hate the feeling of someone saying they found this band, or just lied about being affiliated with the band. Otherwise, more music is great!
Seeing as the whole thread has 0 self promotional posts, and everyone says fine to share (how refreshing!), heres my post punk indie rock stuff:

A synthy-er album #3 is in the works. Thanks for your time!
What a fun sound - thank you for sharing!
Share away!!!! I want to hear everything
No, I hate how most places don't allow promotions.
