Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?

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?
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'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, (!musicmaking@sh.itjust.works I need to make it look better tho

Let me look how to do it with VoyagerI'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 -
Fully agree! I just learned about https://fedi-search.com/. I'm going to start using it.
FediSearch — Easily Search the Fediverse
Easily search the fediverse in your preferred search engine

Hmm, this sounds like a really cool idea, but it doesn't seem to do what I thought it would. For example, I went to https://fedi-search.com/ and searched for "stop internet searching" expecting to find this very thread, but alas, no dice.

fediverse bringing back bulletin boards and forums would be a great thing.
the internet became a worse place when we lost bulletin boards and forums and got reddit and ai.
I think about Reddit-style platforms being the centralized bulletin boards and forums of these days, and Lemmy is closest we have to a DIY kind of thing which is controlled by the community.
Back in the day only a sufficiently tech savvy person could set up and run a forum software. Now everyone can do it, and with the Fediverse it's all nicely interconnected, interoperable and truly free and open.
In general the Fediverse is the best shot we got right now to get back to the non-corporate Internet of my childhood and youth, I really hope it will succeed. And succeeding does not mean that it must grow and outcompete the commercial offerings, I think success is if enough motivated and interesting people join and participate. Quality > quantity.

I was just thinking about this, when I'm facing an issue, the first thing I do is go to a search engine and usually there's a Reddit post. But I don't want to ask there. And the only way we're going to build up the info for folks to find us and come here is for us to just start asking here. On the Fediverse. We need to build up that mountain of knowledge that Reddit has and will always have. So we should be championing ANYONE asking questions here. Even if we think it's obvious and we think you can just Google it. There was a time where you literally couldn't just Google it. That was built over time. We need to build that here. So start asking your questions here! Find the answers and then post your answer to your own question. Or let someone do it for you. We need to build the knowledge here to be found. It's not just about people looking for alternatives. We need our knowledge to be more valuable than their knowledge.
I ask chatgpt first. It usually gives me decent ideas to test out.
E: the downvotes are interesting. I wonder why.

I have been trying to do that since I came here because you are precisely right google has become at best broken at worst an agent actively trying to manipulate you and reddit is entirely untrustable, keep doing what you are doing and don't forget to have fun while you are doing the right thing!
