A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

When I'm discovering new music I usually take an artist I already like, find out who inspired them and who they inspired in turn, and branch out listening to those musicians. Rinse and repeat. I never really thought about it this way until seeing your post, but I'm kinda establishing a "chain of authenticity" with that strat, because what self respecting artist is going to claim an ai "artist" as inspiration?

[–] maxotto1@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

this is a very good way, a chain, i will post it as a good practice.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

This also gets you outside the trap of recommendation algorithms; AI before anyone called it AI.

Critical thinking?

Like, that's the only way to do it. Anyone trying to memorize tells will be fighting a never ending battle, you need general critical thinking to ID AI anywhere. And not everyone is going to be able to do that right away or without a lot of effort.

So your going to make way more progress trying to teach people critical thinking than a hyper specific use case.

True, lets teach us to be detectives to question, compare, seek context on every type of music fake content.

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Gonna make a post about it, but in line with identifying, with people reporting on their own findings in places like NeoDB (ActivityPub-compatible!), it creates a knowledge database. A wiki could be good too (and iirc there are AP-compatible wiki projects too), but it takes way more effort.

Trying to identify AI music is a losing battle.

By that, I mean the approach is broken. If you’re listening on platforms that make posting spam profitable, then that platform is broken, and you need to get your music elsewhere. They’ve been broken, and toxic to artists; the ease of spam generation with AI just exacerbated the issue.

Hence I really like 0op’s approach and similar ones. Just get away from anything that’s going to serve you AI music, and seek it out instead.

[–] maxotto1@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

you are right. New platforms must manual validate artists.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

That’s not going to work either, as spammers can put more effort into validating themselves than small-time artists can.

I’m saying the whole premise of a “platform” is broken. Algorithms are busted. If you want to listen to “clean” music, you gotta go oldschool and seek out curators or recommendation chains.

[–] maxotto1@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

sure, but i mean different class of platforms, where quantity of streams dont matter or pay, this break the concept, bots ans spammer will not care.
