@jsadow@kissane there are approaching 400 fedi present artists linked just on our site and amongst in our 3 (currently 4 with the FediVision pop-up) channels. Follow any number of them and you will begin to see some awesome comradery around listening, creating, supporting independent music and art of all kinds. All are quite friendly helping others find things they might like or things they hadn't thought they might like.
To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.
We have a plethora of new sounds for you. Drop-in to discover great indie creatives who just so happen to be your fedi neighbours, then support them to fill the universe with awesome!
Been a bit "light" on our positive posts and very heavy on behind the scenes project planning and boring infrastructure works. IRL as for many has been a bit pummelling on the hamster in the wheel but here we are, together.
Keep lifting each other up to survive and thrive sharing our art and love in comradery.
Please enjoy a positive RFF project update with something new you may have already spotted...
These are friendly for comradery and a perfect chance to interact with and directly support an awesome independent artist outside of the pressures of other platforms.
The #radioFreeFedi community of artists, listeners and patrons has shown amazing support in all directions, materially, in kind words and uplifting aid and support in a collaborative spirit.
We know it can be tough promoting your art and we love to help.
Has it been a while since you've submitted? Have you been meaning to? Did you not know our community powered service exists? See our bio for the TLDR of what we do.
Every day is a great day to grow the soundtrack for an awesome community instigating intentional acts of kindness, comradery, and direct support.
Every day is also a great day to support an indie artist.
Not sure how improve reach or better convey the victim of success RFF is. I don't want to feel trapped to a diminished community service cheapening ethos nor want anyone else to feel obligated.
I've outlined a brutally modest, voluntarily exploitative plan that will allow RFF to sustain for 2024 and coordinated community involvement willing, grow how we can amplify independent creative voices together.
Can you help us reach new corners of the verse or rekindle old connections?
We're very happy to have linked up with @bonfire as a pilot project to explore co-designing tools for safer, more efficient organising, planning, collaboration and communication both among the RFF artists and contributers as well as out to the wider community and the world.
The ethea of our projects are very complimentary. If you've been keeping an eye on the work they are doing we hope RFF's participation can soon help contribute some helpful "on the ground" context.
Reminder, coming up at 1900 UTC | 1100 US PST, on RFF video channel we're having a world premiere watch party for the new video from Blue Nagoon "Garden". #joinIn
TLDR We can't burn the human power as we did in '23. We're requesting a "staff" donation goal in the hopes the community will back RFF going all in for '24. If not we'll scale back offerings and initiatives.
Either way we still need more help from the community for station direction and community building and outreach out in the feeds.
The NYD 24 Global Stream Parade officially kicks off in les than an hour at 0100 UTC.
This will be our thread for announcing upcoming stops on the parade route which can be seen at: https://radiofreefedi.net/nyd24
We and the broadcasters will use #NYD24Parade if you want to keep an eye out, or mute for the day. Boost the participants and let's celebrate discovering some of your fedi streaming friends.
The New Years Day 24 Global Stream Parade has come to an end. We hope you enjoyed participating, made a discovery, a friend, a memory, or just had somwhere comfy to hang even if quietly.
Massive love to all the artists and broadcasters for putting it out there, especially for going any extra mile for fun, funky and special material for the event.
