New Communities
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/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
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.

You seem to care way too much about something you don't want to care about.
Let people have their fun.
... I want to have fun with the people, just you know, by interfacing it on my own terms, or to leave them alone otherwise. And the band is exploding overnight compared to their meager catalog, which, you know, good for them, but because I listened to 2 out of their 6 songs on youtube the logarithm thinks I'm obsessed with them. They are good and making a poppy version of a niche thing, go them. They aren't King Lizard tier yet though.
King Gizzard is absurdly prolific so I'm not sure it's entirely fair to compare other bands to them lol
But yeah they were certainly my first thought for the 'microtonal rock' inspiration. But there were others like Secret Chiefs 3 experimenting with this stuff even back in the 90s.
I think they make good and original music, but yeah I'm not sure they can keep this up for too long. My feeling is they'll do maybe another album and then go back to bar gigs in Quebec making experimental stuff.
I dunno, they could go far. They've got an interesting sound and microtonal pop/rock western music (instead of avant garde classical/electronic, or music from cultures that have microtonal systems) is a fairly unexplored territory that can lead to them making lots of new songs for a good while.
It's just that they are a bit new to get ALL THIS attention. Social media algorithms seem to have latched on to the very hard.
Which is why I want to participate if we can compensate with the sparse catalog with tangentially related music, otherwise it's going to be really boring seeing photos from their tours doing the same songs over and over again, and see when actual news happen.
I agree. I'm sure anyone is this community would enjoy recommendations to similar music!
