Hi all!

While I'm unsure how new a community has to be to qualify for posting here, I'm hoping to shamelessly advertise a community I made on Feddit.Online called NC-SA Bops.

NC-SA Bops was made because of my personal values, and a desire to follow those values as closely and regularly as possible. In my eyes, the way the copyright system works is flawed, restricting creativity of artists in building off of existing works, as well as being heavily commercialized, potentially preventing musicians from creating music that's uniquely theirs in favour of creating music that'd be seen as more profitable.

In my explorations of music licensing, I found there to be limited options outside of the Creative Commons. I immediately distanced myself from anything licensed ND (Non-derivative) as I felt that to restrict people's creativity, and while the general ShareAlike license is fine, I also felt that by allowing commercial use of works, the general ShareAlike license does nothing to address the root issue of the copyright system: money.

I found the BY-NC-SA license perfect as it embraces creativity in allowing derivatives while also preventing commercial use not just in the original track, but in derivatives as well. Whether you agree or disagree with my thoughts, I found it annoying that finding tracks specifically licensed BY-NC-SA was a pain, and in creating NC-SA bops, I hope that it helps others find tracks they enjoy under the license with more ease.

!decentralization@lemmy.world

(relative link | absolute link)

What

All things and everything about decentralization: news, announcements, proposals, and discussions about decentralized apps, protocols and communities.

• decentralized web (dweb)
• peer-to-peer (P2P)
• file-sharing (e.g., BitTorrent, IPFS, and Gnutella)
• self-hosting
• federation (e.g., ActivityPub/Fediverse and Bluesky)
• federated apps (e.g., Mastodon, Lemmy, and Pixelfed)
• cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum)

Why

I've noticed that although a lot of people are interested in decentralization, there aren't many forums where people can share news and discuss and develop projects together. Reddit used to have /r/Rad_Decentralization, /r/DarknetPlan and so on but the 2023 Reddit API controversy was the the final nail in their coffin.

Nevermind! Apparently a satisfactory community already exists and this is being redundant. !satisfactory@lemmy.world <- Exists and is awesome.

~~!satisfactory_game@lemm.ee~~

~~A community to discuss Coffee Stain's Satisfactory - factory building game. But the game itself, engine issues, and user creations.~~

Welcome to AskKaren - Where Karen's Always Guilty!

This is your one-stop shop to confront the Karen in your life—whether she’s real or totally made up. Got cut off in traffic? Got attitude from a customer at work? Or maybe your HOA’s newest complaint about your garden has "Karen" written all over it? This is the place to ask Karen why she did it.

Here’s how it works:

1. Make up any scenario where Karen’s acting like... well, Karen—and ask her to explain herself.

2. Share your real-life frustrations and get into Karen's head—because obviously, it was her fault, right?

Whether it’s a fake story or a real moment of Karen-level entitlement, come ask her why she insists on making life difficult. Don’t hold back. She sure as hell wouldn’t.

Not going to lie, I got banned so I made my own World News Community. This community differs because there's no silly bot, I'll happily listen to the communities voice, and we're a bit more lax on rules policing.

Feel free to come on by and comment. I would love to foster a News community that's active in discussion.

!simracing@lemmy.ml

The community already has 852 subs, but still worth promoting it as it some people might be unaware about it

!barcelona@lemm.ee

Hello everyone,

I've been working on this community for a while now, so it's time to promote it.

I will post regularly there news about the city, and Catalunya in general. Language-wise, I'll post mostly in Catalan (I'm learning it, so it's a good way to practice it), English and Spanish are allowed too.

On that topic, if you have specific languages selected in your profile settings, you might not need the posts tagged with "Catalan"

I'll try to reach out to the eponym subreddit to see if they would be open to promote it there too. Not too hopeful, but you never know

And while I'm here, there is also !esp@lemm.ee for Spanish content

It's another bot that watches for communities that you might want to subscribe to, and posts them so you can subscribe if you want their content.

Enjoy.

For everything about the Beard Wizard of Northampton old and new. With his novel series starting and the Bumper Book of Magic finally about to drop it seemed like a good time to start.
