I’ve been getting so many ideas that it’s hard to keep up with them all.
Right now I’m focusing on fixing bugs and getting as many listener suggested tunes on the airwaves as soon as possible. Keep checking the community for updates! !radiolemmy@lemm.ee
I added the link to the sidebar in the Radio Lemmy community. !radiolemmy@lemm.ee
Send me the link and I’ll contact them to see what they think about merging or doing a collab
There is a system in place to prevent a song from playing more than twice per day.
That said, every time I upload a new listener suggestion, the backend running the station resets the playlists, which can cause tunes to play more often than they’re supposed to. Currently working on a fix.

I’m planning on it. Right now we average about 15-20 listeners at any given moment. It’s not the most impressive number, no, but it’s better than I was expecting for our first two days!
000webhost runs the website, and AsuraHosting for the stream.
There is a system implemented that tracks every song played for licensing purposes. Anyone can jump on with their own music and I get sent the bill afterword. I’m more than happy to pay for the licensing fees for the time being. I’ll probably start begging for donations eventually.
Saving this comment so I can look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. I’d like to get as many ears as I can!
Yeah I noticed
I want to get the station broadcasting on as many ears as possible. I’m currently trying to get the station on TuneIn; will look into Rhythmbox.
Thanks. I was not aware of lemmy.radio
Damn, and here I thought I had an original idea. Maybe we should get together and do a collab! Their website could use some modernization.
Oh don’t worry, I will. I want to eventually implement a system where people can donate to their favorite DJs and the station gets a cut to help with operating fees. But I will need developers to help me with this. In the meantime I ask for nothing but your ears.
Already implemented due to legal reasons. So IDK why Take on Me keeps playing.
Thanks for making me aware of the issue. Fixing now.
Exactly! You get it. Big radio will just play the same 10 songs over and over, all day long, for always and forever. My idea for the station is to escape from the corporate BS and play what people want to actually hear.
Thank you. I’ve been working hard all night to get as many listener suggestions on air as possible! (Gonna eventually need mods to help me with this).
Individual songs are preferred, but feel free to link a playlist if you want. Stick it in the “Optional Message” section of the Submission form.
Excellent question. I plan on promoting the station on as many communities as I can get away with. I’m hoping that the concept takes off and spreads throughout the fediverse. But to be honest, I can’t guarantee anything. What I can tell you, though, is that there are more than 5 listeners tuning in right now. ;) (EDIT: And we don’t even have any live DJs yet!)
Why? I love Shorts! Takes me back to the days of early YouTube, when not everything had to be a 30+ minute video and you could still discover small unknown channels just from browsing. Shorts is the best thing to happen to YouTube since they added HD support back in 2010.
Please explain yourself.
