No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I want to post about the songs that I am listening to, but in a way that everyone can open it regardless of what they are using. Is there a good way to do that? A website that generates links for the popular streaming platforms?

Honestly, as much as I hate it, but YouTube seems to be the best service in that regard. Even small indy bands seem to have their songs on there.

If link to YouTube it’s best to delete the trackers from the url by deleting the ? and everything after it

[–] hatter@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.

In some cases it can be geoblocked or would be deleted with time if IP holders demand so. But that's probably the case for most platforms. The pro-point for youtube is that it is embeddable in most social networks and website engines, so if you post it to your blog or chat it'd play within the page or app without coming to another resource.

The ~~I permanent~~ impermanent nature of YouTube and other host sites, such as photo bucket and forum reformats, has drastically changed how I comment. I try to type all the pertinent details instead of dropping a link alone, hoping to future-proof the info by giving readers the info required to use a search engine to find it if the link breaks

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Clever. Didn't thought about that.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Corrected a type that flips the meaning, though I'm guessing people identified it. "impermanent"

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I think OP is asking for a vendor neutral application that allows the user to listen to the song on the platform of their choice, like Songlink as some suggested.
