Are there any macjams.com refugees on Tildes?
So there used to be this vibrant community on macjams.com where DIY musicians congregated to share their music, collaborate, offer advice and constructive criticism, etc., but the site shut down in 2019 with nothing to take its place. Every couple of years, I'll start the search again, but I haven't found anything that scratches the same itch anywhere on the web. There are a few subreddits that attempt to create the same atmosphere and scope, but the overwhelming majority of content I've found is spammed out with self-promotion and endless empty threads.
Has anyone found a community similar to Macjams that I've missed or overlooked?
I use a Synthstrom Deluge and there is a community on discord with song competitions, help and support and whatnot. I don't know of a generic one for what you say, but maybe there is. I'm in a few synth and music making adjacent discords.
Appreciate the input! I keep thinking about it more and more, and it might be time to combine my music and web development hobbies and try to start a new site.
I love the idea of joining discord communities for this purpose, but the ease of bouncing between user profiles and listening to their music was so cool on macjams. It was like SoundCloud in that sense, but a super tight knit and supportive community as well.
