Welcome to Lemmyvision's summer edition, Sunnyvision!

Lemmyvision song contest is where communities and instances of Lemmy submit a song and vote on their favorites! With the aim of promoting different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

For this 'lighter' edition, the goal is to celebrate the last week of summer, with some summer related tunes. You do not need to bring your instance/community, everyone can share a song, no matter what instance they're on, as long as they can federate here!

It's a fun way to celebrate summer, and discover new music, details below.

To participate

• Go to https://jlai.lu/post/10574876 post on !lemmyvision@jlai.lu and in the comments, post a song that was released in summer of any year.
• Next week, you'll be able to vote for your favorite song from the songs posted there.

Spread the word if you can, and I hope you have fun, and that everyone can discover new music!

> We’re excited to present the Open Science Network initiative, a first step towards open and federated digital spaces designed to push the boundaries of open science and scholarly communication.

> BandWagon is a new music experience for Fediverse musicians, and offers much of what they're looking for from Bandcamp.

> FediForum is back for its September 2024 session! Come join us and hang out as we cover the event in real-time!

> A new startup in Fediverse space offers a unique way for people to support their favorite creatives and builders on the network.

> Yesterday the Internet Archive lost its appeal in the digital lending case it’s been fighting for the last few years.

> How do you create an icon for a network that no one individually controls? Here's a showcase of many different attempts for the Fediverse.

> Emacs lisp for blogging with comments via Mastodon

lotide - A federated forum / link aggregator using ActivityPub.

> Sub.club thinks premium feeds could also serve other use cases, like supporting helpful bots or generating funds to help maintain a community's Mastodon server, for instance.

> Whenever I, or someone else, posts a link to this blog on Mastodon, it DDoS's me and brings the site down for a couple minutes.

> Meta announced Wednesday that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own.

> Flohmarkt is still a really young platform, but it shows promise as a way for people to create listings, and reach out to one another.

> Meta has been spotted working on a new feature that would allow a post — as well as all its replies — to disappear in 24 hours.

> A beloved social news reading platform has been carefully inching towards full connectivity with the Fediverse. This update is the closest yet.

> With more social and blogging platforms joining the Fediverse in the future, there will undoubtedly be some confusion over how to display user handles online. Many people will probably forget to add the extra “@” symbol and instead type out an email address on their blog or social network.

> Federated social media platform revolving around discussion of things including but possibly not limited to: games, books, movies

Features

• Post about the things you love! Any post can have a "context" (e.g. a game), which is searchable, browsable, and followable.
  • Contextual posts can be tagged as comments, excerpts (e.g. screenshots / recordings from playthroughs), or reviews (with scores)
  • Posts federated to other fediverse platforms automatically have ("out-of-band") hashtags applied, so others can view and follow your post context from e.g. mastodon or gotosocial
• Interact with the wider fediverse! Post, share, and interact with other Gush! instances, as well as other services that communicate via activitypub.
  • Comments, quotations, and reviews from Bookwyrm will also apply Gush!-style context and review ratings

> Features: > > - Micro-blogging service (includes support for quote posts, custom emojis and more). > - Default character limit is 5000. > - Support for a limited subset of markdown-style formatting. > - Easy installation and small memory footprint (<50 MB). > - Mastodon API. > - Content subscription service. Subscriptions provide a way to receive monthly payments from subscribers and to publish private content made exclusively for them. > - Supported payment methods: Monero, a peer to peer digital cash system where transactions are private by default. > - Account migrations (from one server to another). Identity can be detached from the server. > - Federation over Tor and/or I2P.

Interesting discussion, what do Lemmy people think?

> In this episode of the Fediverse Files, ‪youtube.com/@DocPop talks with Bart Decrem, the co-creator of Mammoth, an open source Mastodon app for iOS. > > Doc and Bart discuss how the walled gardens of the present are finally getting some real competition from a better, and more open social web. A return to the original promise of the web. That anyone can find a home, their own place on the internet, and connect with whomever they want without getting trapped within a single platform thanks to open protocols like ActivityPub and open platforms like Mastodon. Whether it’s through a newsletter, a podcast or a publisher’s website, Bart’s goal is to get a million websites and a hundred million people onto the fediverse.

To join a waitlist: https://bandwagon.fm

> I'm so excited to welcome the first batch of beta-testing #Musicians to #Bandwagon. I've so enjoyed listening to your work and setting up real #Fediverse profiles for you. > > Today, I'm sending out emails to ~ thirty more #Bands on the waitlist. > > Together, we'll make Bandwagon a viable open alternative to the big corporate label sites. One that's easy to set up, that anyone can host on their own, and most importantly, helps get your band out in front of the millions of people on the Fediverse.

> Long-form publishing has been a mainstay of the Web since the very beginning. As the network adopts it, we have to think about UX.
