Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I still download my music. Two pros: I have control over where, when and how I listen to it. And I only download music I actually want to listen to.
One con:Â Finding new music is harder (I imagine).
That's what radio helps with, there was also Pandora, but I didn't know if it is still alive after Sirius XM bought them.
Shoutcast is still running strong! Also super easy to setup your own server https://directory.shoutcast.com/
And there's also Icecast! https://dir.xiph.org/genres
Find an online radio station you like and you don't need Pandora any more.
That's not SomaFM
ListenBrainz is the solution for discovery
I have found a ton of new music through KEXP's YouTube channel.
Found the Seattleite. Can’t believe I didn’t notice your name all this time and connect the dots.
I listen to C89.5! Website and app both work flawlessly.
Thought I remembered the name. That's where Dinosaur Jr. played a legendary set.
Also, I just realized they did another one more recently. I'll have to listen to that one, too.
In my opinion, it's harder, but not even necessarily because it's harder to do it in the end. More because it's just harder to get started.
For example, I find way more music I enjoy listening to through Bandcamp than I ever did on Spotify, but that requires having existing artists that I follow and can see their recommendations for, having a feel for which genres I actually like instead of a vague mental concept of what I like to listen to that I can then keyword search by in Bandcamp's search/discover section, and hoping that the human curators on Bandcamp's newsletter pick artists I like. Bandcamp doesn't really have algorithms, so those are my only real options.
It's more effort, but it's infinitely more rewarding.
You actually should actually try to listen to web radio. Still have a subscription with Qobuz but been listening to bytefm a lot and they have some great djs (they have different shows at different time.). I personally found there more new and great artist or songs than any personalized algorithm ever did.
One con: you’re too busy writing down the songs and you cannot really do anything while listening as you also too scared of missing something.
Do they not have a recently played? Can always go back through and shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the songs. Just note the time maybe atleast.
