What are your thoughts on a user-driven, officially unofficial radio station for Lemmy? - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldFor the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station
(it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but
I don’t know what to do with it. So I thought I’d see what Lemmy thinks about
the concept, before I go all in and start investing in licensing fees, better
servers, and more listener capacity. If you’re interested, we’ll need curators
to add songs to the rotation when no DJ is on air. It’s simple and
straightforward. Just click “Suggest” on the top right of the website and enter
the Artist + Song Title on the form. We will also need DJs and presenters to
volunteer any freetime you’re willing to give up and help make this happen.
Click “Join” to get started. All styles and genres are welcome. Hop on the
airwaves anytime you want. Take requests, or don’t. Mix and scratch, or just
play one tune after another. Host a talk show/podcast if it suits you. Up to
you. You can either use your own DJ/broadcasting software, otherwise there is a
Web DJ interface for those with no software/experience. ___

submissions so far! I’ve added them to the rotation. Feel free to suggest any
tunes for removal as well.
EDIT 2: Looks like I’m going to have to upgrade web servers sooner than
expected. If you’re having issues connecting, try the temporary URL

through the applications. I’ll take care of as many as I can tonight. Check your

don’t know what instance you’re using.)
He asks for DJ’s and song suggestions. My guess as to why I like it so much is that you want to hear what music is important to the listeners. I’m having a hard time turning it off.
I’m excited to see this on my frontpage this morning because I used to listen to a community driven station from a game I used to play and it was legit one of my favorite ways to discover new music. That radio station shut down a few years ago but previous to that Radio KoL(Kingdom of Loathing) had been running for over a decade.
Here’s hoping this is the replacement!
Same, but it was for AnarchyOnline. They did giveaways and hosted in game dance parties and stuff. Was the absolute tits to 15yr old me.
