Oops! I actually ment to post this in a ham radio community. RF is still RF, so it kinda fits here if you squint a little bit.

We are here today to mourn the death of Radio Lemmy. It now reports a 'Station Not Found' for listeners, and an endless 'connecting' message for broadcasters.

Short lived as it was, it brought joy to listeners and presenters alike; whether it was three Scatman tracks in a row from Auto DJ, the countless times Rasputin had been played, to the many technical issues ranging from disconnecting to change track names and helicopter noises.

Psythik's disappearance was shortly after the 9th of November, last seen November 27th. A user under also under the username @Psythik@lemmy.world was spotted on .world, though it's not clear whether or not he is the same Psythik we know or it's another person who happens to use the same username (he does sound/write the same though.)

Unless Psythik does come back (which he has not), Radio Lemmy is now dead.

Thank you, Radio Lemmy, and thank you to the listeners, the curators (except for whoever put Scatman in thrice :3c) and the presenters.

Radio Lemmy, 6 November 2023 ~ 28 December 2023.

Been a bit, innit? Once again bringing you jazz, funk, the in-between of those genres, and anything else that sounds similar enough; live on Radio Lemmy!

(may involve helicopter noises)

With Psythik being inactive, Radio Lemmy seems to be unmaintained. Apparently (from what's been said in the Discord) there's a sizable queue of DJ applications which have not been accepted.

Hopefully this doesn't mean Psythik has completely ghosted Radio Lemmy; but as it stands right now, it's a waiting game, to see if the bills for the station have been paid or not.

Bills aside, some suggestions for Psythik (in case you read this):

• a donation system which has been long missing and wanted by many, we all want to keep Radio Lemmy alive of course,
• you might want to recruit people as radio staff, to handle the station's funky quirks and the ever growing request and application lists; since Radio Lemmy currently has a bus factor of 1 :)

EDIT: The schedule is extremely lonely, since the small presenter team we currently have is, well, small, and can't really cover all times. That includes myself :P

Live audio: radiolemmy.com Live video: twitch.tv/dettweiler Come say hi!

Join me for an hour of live mixing! Starting off with some Bass House and letting things flow from there. I'll also be live streaming the video portion and recording the session for later viewing (link will be posted in this thread).

Listed: radiolemmy.com

In less than 2 hours I will be live for some metal and rock on the air!

I'll be taking over for 2 hours to bring noise to your ear canals!

Hope to see you there!

I'll be taking over your airwaves for a casual stroll through the ages (and genres) of electronic music with the first episode of Doomer's Dancefloor.

Tune in to Radio Lemmy today at:

• 5pm ET / 4pm CT / 10pm GMT

And don't forget your dancing shoes!

Let's start the week off with some more on-the-fly mixing! I'll be kicking off with some flowing dubstep and following the vibes for at least 1 hour! As always you can expect some genre changes, but the direction we go depends on how the music is moving!

Thought I'd share this. A typo on the website preview, this is from Firefox on Android

Been enjoying this radio and its user suggested songs! That's great work 👍🏻

!

Really enjoying Radio Lemmy, have had it on almost constantly :-)

After using the site a few times, I noted a few things that might be worth looking at - not meant as criticism, just some ideas.

Suggestions:

• Freeze pagination tools of auto DJ library - would make it easier to navigate on mobile when scrolling down the song list. At the moment, when you scroll, you can't see the controls

• Make the song request message popups (green for accept/red for reject) always appear onscreen as overlays instead of at a fixed point on the page - at present they're not visible when user is scrolled down, especially on mobile

• Is there a way to filter the library by genre/artist? I can't seem to find it, apologies if I'm being dense.

• It would be cool to be able to sort the library by date added - so we could see what new songs have been uploaded

Bugs:

• When sending a song suggestion it refreshes the page, stopping the music stream. Any way to prevent that?
• I noticed that some songs have duplicate info - eg Pulp - Disco 2000, Stromae - Alors On Danse, and possibly more

Just wanted to drop by and say something cause I know at least a couple of people were expecting me in the Discord today.

These past three days have been non-stop work for me (on top of my day job. edit: Not to mention all the time it took to get the website & station up and running). I appreciate all your song submissions and applications. They just keep coming which shows me that there's a real interest in keeping this thing going. But it's easy for me to get burnt out quick, especially since I have ADHD.

So today is a mental break for me. Tomorrow I will be back at it, processing more tunes and getting all the DJs who signed up on the airwaves ASAP, so that you're not stuck listening to the same songs every single day. Also planning on making some proper bumpers to replace the generic placeholders that just say "this is Radio Lemmy" every 4 songs or so. A few people have offered to make some; can't wait to hear them.

Also, themed days are in the works, i.e. dedicated days where only one genre is played for the day. I'm thinking we'd do this twice a week, maybe 3 times. Of course DJs can still play whatever they want on those days; this will just be for the Auto DJ that picks songs when no one's connected. I figure this will help add some consistency since right now everything from every genre is just playing on shuffle.

And that's just the stuff that I'm ready to announce. Big things are planed for the station. Thanks for your support; stay tuned!

Just wanted to drop in and say, bloody hell, this is actually great! I was expecting people to have much worse taste in music. DJ shows I've managed to catch have been full of bangers too.

Keep up the good work!

Jazzing it up on the airwaves this afternoon/morning! Don't miss it

Come check us out! Psythik is going live from 8-9 PM EST [0100-0200 GMT] and mixing 90's and 00's Trance anthems until 9 PM EST [0200 GMT]. I'll be following him up as DJ Dett from 9-10 PM EST [0200-0300 GMT]. I'll be starting off with some bassy House and working my way up from there!

Listen: https://radiolemmy.com/

Mixing live on my gear. The theme of the show will be trance anthems from the 90s and 2000s. At least that's the idea. I'll be accepting requests and so who knows where the show will go.

Look forward to seeing you there! Check the schedule on the website.

EDIT: If you missed it, you can listen back to the show here: https://soundcloud.com/psythik/dj-psythik-aka-genesis-live-on-radio-lemmy

Here's a video of the issue:

https://youtu.be/oJqqaDXiESM

The bug happens on both Chrome and Firefox, with and without extensions. I can provide more information if necessary.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been dreaming of creating my own radio station. Well I finally made it happen but didn't know what to do with it, so I figured I'd offer up the concept to Lemmy to see if you're interested!

Tune in here: https://radiolemmy.com

I need DJs and curators! If you're interested, please click the "Join" link on the top right of the page of the station's website. No experience necessary. Play anything you want; all styles and genres are welcome. Hop on the airwaves anytime. Take requests, or don't. Mix and scratch, or just play one tune after another. Host a talk show/podcast if it suits you. Up to you. You can either use your own DJ/broadcasting software, or the Web DJ interface if you have no software/experience. Whatever works best for you.

As for curators, I need you to add songs to the Auto DJ rotation (i.e. what plays when there is no DJ on air). Click the "Suggest" button on the website to submit your favorite tunes! (no registration required)

Feel free to post your questions here, and thank you for tuning in! Let's make this thing happen!
