Hi!
My name is Manu and I’m the creator of the quite fresh bassment , a place for all things related to the greatest instrument in existence.
I‘m quite overwhelmed by the amount of instances and general communities out there and I‘ve yet to receive an answer from some mods over at the Music communities.
We are slowly but steadily growing but I just got a feeling that there has to be a better way to reach other bass players. It’s not like the subscriber number matters, but it feels like there might be something I‘ve been missing.
How have you found your favorite communities? How did you promote yours? Thanks!
Well, just by seeing your post I’ve decided to join your community cause I keep meaning to learn guitar/bass xD but also having people find it on places naturally like browse.feddit.de works great too
Given the number of people here, it might take a while to find the right people. Maybe if there is a community for musicians, you can start talking there and find out who are bassists.
Eh, the fediverse is still small and growing. Even the much more popular (and, lets be honest, better in every perceivable way) lemmy community for guitars has a whopping 66 subscribers to /r/guitars 1.6 MILLION subs.
Just let things grow organically and share in other bass communities on other sites.
Here are some links to places you can find communities:
- https://lemmyverse.net
- https://sub.rehab/?visibleServices=lemmy
- https://browse.feddit.de/
- https://redditmigration.com/
There’s one other one, but I can’t remember it, I’ll update this if I can.
The New Communities Community: !newcommunities@lemmy.world
AFAIR I made a post there, but aren‘t there other options as well? I suspect most people tend to join a community they randomly come across.
Randomly stumbling across it, or finding it on e.g. https://browse.feddit.de/ or other search tools (which your community already shows up on) are the other ways I have found communities. Mostly that posts there though, honestly.
