I think that there should be one, if there isn’t. If I’m missing it, please enlighten me.

    Because vinyl sucks!!

    On a more on topic note: Lemmy is small. We dont have the population to warrant that specific of a community, yet. I’d recommend starting by joining a community about vinyl, making posts about vinyl care, and seeing how they do. When you’re taking up a significant percentage of a larger parent topics feed, I’d say it’s time to splinter off

    I’d just add that we run the risk of being extremely unappealing if we have too many communities with near 0 activity. We’re better served at the beginning having fewer, more general communities, to attract critical masses

      All very valid points, I still just think they’re neat and I’m gonna buy more 👍

        Haha, I think Benn Jordan even says somewhere in the video that this is the only valid stance on buying vinyl. 😁

          I am gonna be a lil wary about breathing while very close to my records now, I should’ve guessed there was something terrible about the big fun plastic music discs 😭 thank you for sharing the video!

        I can’t wait for folks to start posting articles about how you shouldn’t sniff your vinyl gas, just like we shouldn’t be sniffing our steam deck exhaust.

      It’s also a problem with algorithms. Big communities drown out smaller ones because the sorting only looks at absolute numbers. Change is underway though.
