In Depth Indie is my attempt at creating an online community as tight-knit as your local music scene, for fans and musicians alike.

I myself am a musician and guitar tutor. I'm hoping to encourage activity way beyond song sharing. I'd like to put together contests, giveaways and collabs.

I used to do community projects as an animator just over a decade ago on NewGrounds/StickPage (if anyone knows the latter). Those refreshed the community we had on StickPage and actually even got sponsored on both those sites, which was nice. Must've been doing something right!

Long story short, I'd like to bring back that early-ish internet vibe, when forums were in the spotlight and we actually remembered each other's (nick)names! :) If you were there for it, you know what I mean. If you weren't around yet, you're gonna love it!

So come on down to In Depth Indie and TALK about your favorite bands, TELL us about your favorite shows, DESCRIBE the song you made and make some REAL (online) friends! haha

The core aim is to never just drop a link and run away! :)

P.S. As long as the community is small, I pinky swear to not let a single post go neglected. If no one interacts with your post, I will.

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
