I was just thinking about this, when I’m facing an issue, the first thing I do is go to a search engine and usually there’s a Reddit post. But I don’t want to ask there. And the only way we’re going to build up the info for folks to find us and come here is for us to just start asking here. On the Fediverse. We need to build up that mountain of knowledge that Reddit has and will always have. So we should be championing ANYONE asking questions here. Even if we think it’s obvious and we think you can just Google it. There was a time where you literally couldn’t just Google it. That was built over time. We need to build that here. So start asking your questions here! Find the answers and then post your answer to your own question. Or let someone do it for you. We need to build the knowledge here to be found. It’s not just about people looking for alternatives. We need our knowledge to be more valuable than their knowledge.
I have my close friends that help and motivate me a lot but… I originally live in France and moved to Canada for a job.
I’m completely uprooted now and don’t know anyone in Toronto. In case you’re wondering why someone would abandon their life to move to Canada, I’m 18 and wanted to explore the world (still do), have a taste of the possibilities.
I’m happy with it, I’m just a little bit lonely since I arrived one month ago ;) so music making is hard alone, you constantly have to reinvent yourself and have lots of self-awarness
Dude, you never need to justify why you do things. Your life is your own, no one fully understands it but you and even YOU might not understand it. I say go for it. Grow your community!
