virtual Lemmy Gold Star

Wait, a REAL virtual Lemmy Gold Star? Holy shit

Cool idea!

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people looking for small communities

Make a post to a community with fewer than 100 subscribers.

Make a post featuring a human-made piece of art.

Might I suggest you post in my communities?

!artporn@piefed.social

!raygungothic@piefed.social

Please and thank you.

Great idea, @rentlar@lemmy.ca !

!whistling@piefed.social
I got a whistling comm, you don't have to be any good to post, just have fun.

What are your favorite small communities?

the vocal synth/vocaloid community needs more love!

art, shitposting, music

https://ani.social/c/vocaloid

https://lemmy.world/c/hatsunemiku

https://ani.social/c/kasaneteto

i would love to see more people sharing music they like, or better yet, that they made.

(my own community) news & discussion, technical

https://piefed.social/c/vocal_synths

i think i'm going to start sharing vocadb weekly winners to keep the community alive. i've also, admittedly, slacked on posting, and mostly just reposted from vocaverse.network. i made this community for people who use the software to share news, personal projects, or ask for technical help. y'kno, a little more involved than just sharing stuff other people do.
