There are some questions I just honestly would like a few opinions on and/or discussion around and I certainly prefer to do those here and here from members of the federation.

I've made a conscious effort to start doing this in conversations in general instead of opening up a browser tab. Yeah, "just google it" is a thing, but asking is often enough if you're not in a hurry, so why not?
Return to being social 🐒
I was thinking of a catching tag line instead of "just google it" I'm an uber nerd and would say "don't search it! FEDIVERSE IT!" :-D
Another idea is an asking system that compiles answers from the web while also posting the question here. Gives the benefit of immediate answers while also populating the fediverse.

Really solid points that really resonate with me, but are we sure lemmy is the right platform for this? And if so, would we need a separate homeserver with these goals in mind?
I feel like there is monumental opportunity for something to rise up through the ashes of reddit/stack overflow and the ilk that are gettinng AI churned atm. These are things I've been reflecting on for weeks and have not found many answers, but if anyone finds the answers please guide/inform me

I am not sure about “the need to build knowledge” but i am liking the idea of communities of specific interest and expertise with the idea anyone can go discuss things with experts.

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?
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
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
