Posting this here semi-exclusively (after putting it out on Soundcloud and shown to a few friends), "wide" release will be after video's done (that's been put on hold 4 months ago).
Not the best, said some things I wouldn't, broke grammar, but it's something.

My first "composition" from couple of years back, finally recorded. Additionally audio and sheet music are available on [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/melancholimba) and [Musescore](https://musescore.com/user/50327411/scores/8363379) respectively.

Being a cover, I obviously don't own the copyright for the composition, but the recording itself is under CC-BY (though sometimes I wonder if a chord progression played as arpeggios using the same pattern can even be copyrighted).

ma Mosijo for Hungary is objectively terrible as far as transliterations go, though I quote like that it's one of the very few if not only that changed very early on (2005 iirc -- it was Masija, which was too similar to Asija).
The 'gy' /ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ in magyar* becoming an /s/ is just weird, though can be reasoned (/ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ > /dʲ/ > /di/ > /ti/ >** /si/ -- the semivowel then added back), it's still one syllable too long. 'a' is an /ɒ/ in Hungarian, that becoming an 'o' is arguably acceptable (although I'd argue against it, but given the circumstances, I won't complain).
Better solution? "Mata" for Hungarian could work I guess, all I know is that U'd greatly orefer having a plosive in it than a fricative.
*: the country's name is Magyarország, where magyar=Hungarian, ország=country **: by toki pona syllable rules

toki!
This community's been dead for over a year, so I made a new one that is at least somewhat active: !tokipona@lemmy.world
Feel free to repost!

For a long time it was Heroes of Might and Magic 4 for me -- I know it's the "black sheep" of the series, but I really like that heroes are actual parts of your party (I also played a lot while growing up, so nostalgia plays a role and that's what I got used to)

I second OpenSuse Tumbleweed, only switched back to it after 7+ years and it's been great so far, no packages broke after update so far.

I am very indifferent about twitter, only joined relatively recently because I felt like I was spamming random stuff on discord and such, so I just write there if it's not too personal.
Also follow some people and post BTS/WIP things related to the things I make (that basically no one cares about, but I want to share).
The toki pona community is rather acattered on multiple platforms, if there were one active one I'd be on that... (probably no one would comment this, but the ma pona Discord isn't a viable option for me currently).

ctrl+shirt+t truly is a lifesaver
Just managed to push it out before midnight, now it's 0:04. [Audio-only](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/olin-li-tawa-jan-ale-lon-acoustic) and [instrumental](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/olin-ni-li-musi-taso-tawa-jan-ale-lon-ilo-musi-lon) versions are available on my [soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo), all under CC-BY. ~~technically there's also an a capella version, but that's privated~~ Video is "low effort", but still took almost 7 hours to make (starting with writing out the lyrics on paper, scanning the papers, editing and cutting up the images, yada-yada-yada, rendering the video, and finally running through ffmpeg again because I changed my mind on one thing and using an ffmpeg filter was faster then re-rendering).
This is a well-known Hungarian children's song played in B locrian (instead of the usual C major) -- it sounds weird by design and because I actually played every part (no samples). [https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/bb-tarka](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/bb-tarka) There's also a Worse version where I also sing: [https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/bb-tarka-worse-version](https://soundcloud.com/dschorsaanjo/bb-tarka-worse-version) Pixel art was drawn in Aseprite (32x32 resolution, exported at 10000% size, based on Dracula color scheme), music recorded and mastered in Ardour. Includes 3 different kalimbas, a guitalele and 2 stylophones (regular S-1 and Gen X-1)

toki pona is brilliant and I wish there were more of us here. There was no active toki pona community (only ones that were inactive on other instances), so I made a new one: !tokipona@lemmy.world.

This is a reported bug on github, so a fix will happen for sure. While Markdown is awesome and perfect for browsers, incompatible implementations (esp. when using extensions as Lemmy does, e.g. subscript) are often a problem on non-web based platforms, like Android. If Jerboa was an electron app, it would probably be an easier fix than it is; Jerboa is written in Java and there are less and probably less extensive Markdown parsers in that ecosystem.

An early work of mine, but fitting given what happened with Reddit.
I don't remember ever finding an actice CC art (whether it's music, photos, videos or anything) subreddit, but Lemmy should be the perfect place for it and would complement FOSS development communities nicely.

not retro gaming, but Sony Ericsson phones used these basically up until they disappeared
sina ken ala ken sitene? sina wile ala wile sitelen? sina ken li wile, la o sitelen e sitelen sewi suli pona! Can you draw? Do you want to draw? If you can and want, then draw a new banner for this community! The original banner was made in 5 minutes, 4 of which was looking for a font (which is [Macondo](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Macondo)). It was later changed by removing the icon from it. The colors used in the icon are - yellow: `#feff00` - blue/indigo: `#5b00ff` If you agree, I kind of like the icon and would like to keep it for now, but the banner is just, for the lack of a better term, very very very bad. Feel free to reach out, and any other suggestions/ideas are welcome in the comments.

I think* the basic idea is that there'd be specialized hosts/instances for certain broader topics, OR just allowing to create close "communities" by disallowing cross-intance interactions.
It could be confusing for a while, but I think in time things will mostly normalize in one way or another and the concept of "rival subreddits" were already a thing.
*: I'm also new here, so all of this is just conjecture
Due to Reddit being *jaki*, I propose this community to serve as an open replacement. Currently there are no long-term plans and I have admittedly no experience with moderating/running a ~~subreddit~~ community, so help would we welcome. Icon and banner art by me, font used in banner is [Macondo](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Macondo). — jan Sotan
