Yay! This is great! I'm planning on making a few communities (sublemmies? sublems?) over the next few days, just haven't been at my computer much over the weekend. In an effort to see this continue to grow, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the server, modding, etc. I'm not as tech savvy as I used to be, but I'm still able to fumble my way through things.

What did you sub to on reddit? I've found a music-related instance with just a small handful of people, but I'm already enjoying the feel of it. I hope it turns into something slightly larger, but time will tell. I'd suggest looking for communities that are similar to your tastes and stick around for awhile. The party is early, and I think many are too shy to make a move to break the ice. The more active a community seems, the easier it is for newer people to start sharing as well.

Cool to see other new people join! I'm also originally from around the midwest (though, east of STL so, I guess not really the midwest). I think your Dreams of Loss track was really nice. If you're interested, please show us what you're working on and maybe we can give you some feedback!

I love this. Are they all 100% modular synths? I'll have to listen again in my better speakers at home, but this would be such a cool experience to hear in a hall live in surround sound with some ambient lighting and just letting the drone take your mind in a journey. Have you ever considered taking field recordings and warping them into these sorts of textures?

Thanks! I'm still getting my feet wet - I was mostly a lurker on reddit that commented from time to time but in hopes to see this instance take off I'll do my part and be more active.

On that note - what's your personal goal for this space? Just general for music lovers to hang, or a place for creators to give and get feedback?

Thanks for the explanation. My instance is indeed on 17.4. For now, sorting by top day is totally fine, I'm not on here so frequently that I need a new feed every hour.

Didn't notice this feature, thanks!
