Welcome to the Lemmyvision Song Contest where communities and instances of Lemmy submit a song and vote on their favourites!

The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

The first edition of Lemmyvision has concluded. More will come, in the meantime, feel free to share music from where you're from! 🎢

Lemmy users, you can now vote for your favourite song in Lemmyvision's song contest, an Eurovision-like song contest, in which various instances submitted a song of their choice!

My sincere thanks everyone for your submissions, I have created a form where you can rank your favourite songs, it's available here :

➑️ Lemmyvision Voting Form - https://tally.so/r/nWNgKQ ⬅️

I'll leave the form open for a week and then collect the results!

Make sure to check each submitted song thanks to the playlists @[email protected] has created:

Full list of songs:

  • πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Royel Otis - Heading For The Door (aussie.zone / Australia)
  • πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ Puggy - Lost Child ([email protected] / Belgium)
  • πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Lu Kala - Hotter Now (lemmy.ca / Canada)
  • πŸ‡©πŸ‡° Pil - Dronning Af MΓ₯nen (feddit.dk / Denmark)
  • πŸ‡«πŸ‡· Bagarre - ON EST LES MÊMES (jlai.lu / France)
  • πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί Azahriah - introvertΓ‘lt dal ([email protected] / Hungary)
  • πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ The Northern Boys - Sexy Train (feddit.uk / UK)
  • πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ά Casette Beasts - Your Inception (programming.dev / Programming)
  • πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ Tiki Taana - Tangaroa (lemmy.nz / New Zealand)

You will be asked to rank the songs from your favourite to least favourite ; you may notice that users from specific instance cannot rank the song their instance has submitted, in order to keep things fair. Users from non-participating instances can still participate in the voting, and self identify as third party. Let me know if there's any issue with the form!

Enjoy! 🎢

This is my first time hearing of this contest and I love it! So many great songs submitted

Did no one tell the German instance about this? That instance is always populating my feed, you think they would've been all over this.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Germany always does so bad in real Eurovision, they just didn't wanna bother enter another one of those things I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

And the Irish aren't involved for the opposite reason: they win too often. Might as well have two priests singing about a horse or something.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

There was a post asking for a song. I guess we failed to nominate someone..?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Aawww. Because of the server troubles?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Probably somewhat related to those but not the real reason. :/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

feddit.de is currently having server troubles. This has already lasted several days. :'(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I did make a post there and remember they responded positively but haven't heard from them since, feddit.de shows me a server error right now so I can't check :(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

We need to find a german to link to this post, everyone will be sad to have missed it and be there next time !

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll tell 'em

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

danke sehr, Lass sie richtig neidig werden !! Ich vermisse schon den Deutschen Eintrag.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Voted! :D

The UK's entry really brings home the Eurovision feel with the "so weird I don't even know what to say"-song.

The UK’s entry really brings home the Eurovision feel with the β€œso weird I don’t even know what to say”-song.

We aim to please.

Watching the video was great but watching reaction videos to it maybe even better!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Vote casted, good luck everybody!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Voted! Thanks so much for putting this on. And thank you for the playlists too, stoked for my drive tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thanks πŸ₯°

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Vote cast! Some hard choices had to be made, the pressure was immense. I may require a day off work tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the results! What a fun idea!

The inclusion of the non-country instance was controversial, but i think worked. Maybe to halt the 'special interest' instances taking over the competition from its original intent there could be a 10% guest instance carve out.

You could have the 'special interest' instances nominate themselves to participate, then use a random number generator to decide the included 10% guest instances for that year?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Haha same thing for me, it broke my heart to put some songs down the list, all of them were great!

That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about how to spice up the format for the next edition

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

When and where do we get the results?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Probably during next week, in this community, I'll make a post

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

done ! it's pretty difficult to rank so many different styles, everyone send some nice things.

[–] cosmicrookie 5 points 6 months ago

Agree. Personally Id prefer maybe ranking only my 3 or 4 favourites instead

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Thanks for creating the event!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Users from non-participating instances can still participate in the voting, and self identify as third party.

Only slightly disappointed that I couldn't indicate which third party, given that we didn't participate at [email protected] this edition :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

True that, I should have checked if there was an option to specify, sorry about that!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Oops, fixed! Thanks bot :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

[–] Jakdracula 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Damnit! How can I enter? Is it too late?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It has 6.5 days to go. The voting link is in the original post.

[–] Jakdracula 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I have a song I’d like to enter for consideration.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

The submission period ended and its currently in voting

[–] cosmicrookie 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Also it is the local communities that discuss and select a song to represent each group. You could have suggested a song to your local community and hopped that it got picked to represent your country.

[–] Jakdracula 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would have if I learned about this sooner.

[–] cosmicrookie 3 points 6 months ago

There's always next year. There were a few requirements (must be sung i one of the countries official languages, must be from 20023, not an international hit already). I understand that this was a pretty impulsive setup so hopefully next year it will get more traction
