Where do I (cross)post general music production tips here? (self.waveform)

I started a music production community on sh.itjust.works here and I want to crosspost my stuff from there so that music-centered instances can get better content and traction. I'm new to Lemmy as most people seem to be right now, so I don't really know how to approach this best. I don't see any pre-made general music production community on Waveform and I'm okay with making my own and keeping an eye on it.

Would creating a separate community here from a local account and then giving myself mod at my instance be a good idea or should I do something different (per your advice)?

Discoverability sucks right now, unfortunately. Crossposting to big instances helps this stuff getting discovered in local. Searching for communities is hard as is (since you need pre-existing knowledge for the server to find it), and making it easier on the end-user will help create a self-sufficient community that can maintain itself and maybe even grow on its own. And you gotta have an account to create a community since there isn't one here, so that's just that.

Errm yeah all good. Crossposting is totally fine. I meant having multiple accounts on different servers and posting the same stuff is a bit redundant. If you post it from here it its all good. Your stuff on just works should be searchable in the communities from here already as I subscribed to you there. But it was defederated from other large instances so you might be better serving from here. True.
