For fans of indie and alternative music.

For now there’s no real rules of Lemmy’s indieheads except these guidelines from the original subreddit:

We are purposely vague on a definition of “indie”. In general, music & news posts from these genres are not allowed:

Mainstream Rock/Metal Mainstream Pop Mainstream Hip Hop/R&B Mainstream Electronic & EDM

This is to encourage posts with music from more independent & underground artists. Experimental music & underground acts that exist within the banned genres will be allowed, at the discretion of the mods.

Feel free to discuss features you'd like to see on this community here. All ideas welcome!

Did you know about Alternative Nation? Lemmy's largest active alternative music community? (lemmy.world)

I love the Fediverse and have been promoting Lemmy & our alternative music community on Mastodon for over a month now. It's getting pretty active and we are sharing all kinds of music from 80s college rock to today's indie every day.

But somehow it seems lemmy.ml hasn't heard yet! Nearly 1000 subscribers on lemmy.world, but like 17 from lemmy.ml? Oh fediverse, you minx you.

Well, time to change that! I'm spreading the good word for alternative music fans to join & share.

Awesome! It looks like a thriving community over there. The main thing I miss about reddit is discovering and discussing new music on indieheads. I look forward to trying to get involved at alternativenation.

P.S. The community logo is awesome!

Thanks so much! Slowly but surely the threadiverse & Lemmy are getting there - baby steps, but so much fun being part of something special, non-corporate, and fun. And thanks, I did the icon & used the REM image as a banner. Seemed pretty apt.
