Are we ok to post our own music? I'm a hobby experimental musician and would like to find another way to share.

As @gid said, I can't speak for mods either, but I think original music would be a great contribution here, so long as you're actually open to the community engaging with, evaluating, and discussing your music rather than just hoping to drop a bunch of spammy promotional posts. Assuming you just want to share your music with this ostensibly music-loving community, that sounds great to me.

One thing the mods could do (if this works like mastodon) is allow a block list. So say people like myself post, we have to use a specific term in the title (eg "S3LFPR0M0"). Any user getting annoyed (because I know some wont actually want to see it) can just block any post with that term in it.

Oh and maybe limit that sort of music to a specific day of the week

Reiterating that I'm not a mod and don't mean to overstep, but personally until the community grows larger I think an informal rule of general courtesy will probably suffice.

Maybe something reasonable like "no more than 2 self-promotional posts per week in this community." Just my 2 cents.
