Looking to do some nostalgic time-traveling via music? Look no further.
These are all older communities and are doing well in their own right, but they've been unmoderated and on autopilot for the last year and a half, so I'm looking to cultivate and grow them. Would like to get them active enough again to do weekly (or even monthly) roll-ups of the posts into playlists, have theme/genre days, etc. Suggestions are welcome.
I'm also looking for an additional mod or two for at least 60s and 70s; possibly even someone to transfer those communities to. I accepted those since the same mod who has been MIA since June 2023 also owned those. So, if those are your musical era and you want to help grow them, please let me know.
I love '60s music - it's the majority of what I currently listen to - but I'm not sure how many lemmy users will be interested in that era.
What was interesting about Spotify was: the younger generation were given discovery suggestions, and my youngest kids and their friends were starting to have 60s and 70s songs in the regular playlist.
Oh Phil Spector, you magnificently-talented raving homicidal maniac! If only you had just produced incredible music instead of... the other thing you also did. Burn in hell, you visionary, you.
I know I went through a British Invasion phase.
I've got a decent handful of songs from the 60s in my playlist rotation, but it's not my "era" for sure. The important thing, I guess, is that the community is there and can expose the young'uns to some great classics.
