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 [email protected], don’t hesitate if you have questions or suggestions, or would like to help!

See you soon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

    Any affiliation with FediVision or is this a whole separate contest? If so you might need rules about whether people can submit songs to both!

    I’m in for following this either way though, Eurovision fiend that I am.

      Wow I never heard about FediVision thanks for pointing it out!

      I guess it’s not related, FediVision seems to be a contest for musicians of the Fediverse to submit their own songs, while Lemmyvision would be about sharing songs from people’s respective countries, so I guess both can coexist, but I need to specify this.

      I’m definitely going to check out FediVision! 😄
