Hey everyone!

I'm trying to launch Lemmyvision, a Eurovision-like Song Contest for Lemmy communities around the world ! I'd love for people across Lemmy to participate, I hope it will bring people together through our diverse taste of music, so join us if you'd like to discover new music and culture from around the world!

What is Lemmyvision?

Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).
Every country is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only”. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists. I hope to make it a regular event, so hopefully this works well for the first edition!

I'm going to try and share the word across Lemmy, don't hesitate if you want to crosspost to your country's community!

You can find more information on !lemmyvision@jlai.lu, don't hesitate if you have questions or suggestions, or would like to help!

See you soon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Oh cool. Where're the country communities to conspire?

Thanks! I'm trying to post to communities from all the countries I can find, and let them self organize when it comes to choosing a song and everything, there's a very good list of European communities on !yurop@lemm.ee ; otherwise I'm keeping track of the ones I contacted on the main post in https://jlai.lu/post/4818729

!yurop@lemm.ee

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !yurop@lemm.ee

A question from Canada: Does the song need to be released within the last year? If it's too late to change the rules this year, it might be nice to add that next time.

Also if you want to reach out to other countries, you could use this recent list:

Thanks for the list!! Yes ideally the song has to be released in the past year (after jan 1st 2023) but if you guys find a song that was released in late December 2022 that's fine, I'm not too strict on rules 😄
