    I feel this. I’ve been dreaming of running my own internet radio station ever since SHOUTcast first came out. Well it only took 25 years but I finally made it happen, yet I’m too scared to promote it cause I’m afraid that no one will want to join on as a DJ or even tune in. So here I sit, paying for the server space every month for nothing, lying to myself that this’ll finally be the day that I release it to the public…


    Edit: Thanks for your interest, everyone! Okay here’s the link:

    BTW I’ll need DJs, and curators to suggest songs for rotation when no DJ is on. If you want to be a DJ, click Join at the top right of the page, No experience necessary. Use your own software/hardware, or there’s a Web DJ interface you can use if you don’t have any gear. I won’t be on the Discord I made just yet, but I’ll check the website from time to time for applications.

    And no sign up necessary if you just want to suggest a tune for rotation. Just click “Suggest” at the top! Thanks again for helping make my dream come true.

    Lastly, I’m a DJ myself so if this station takes off, expect regular 3-5 hour sessions from me!

        Edit: Check your inbox

        I will once I work up the courage, lol. Plan on making a post about it too once I’m ready to launch. (Still not sure which community would be appropriate to make such a post. There isn’t exactly an active community of DJs on Lemmy, at least not any I could find…)

        If you don’t get a DM in a few hours, check back again tomorrow.

      I’ve always wanted that too. Don’t worry, there are dozens of us. I used to DJ for a few SHOUTcast stations back in the day.

      Send me a link, I’d be happy to check it out!

            Yeah it’s cause I just switched domains. Bad timing; sorry about that. It may take up to 12-24 hours for all DNS servers to update and correctly point to the website.

            EDIT: Should be working now. (At least it is on my end)
