how can a federated community be created? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Indeed it worked eventually. I was then able to crosspost to offgrid.

Broadcast radio programs/schedules -- and DVR equivalents for “offline” radio listeners (waveform.social)

I love using #mythTV to grab TV schedules right from the broadcast signals themselves-- no need for online access, and having stuff recorded with automatic commercial removal.

What about radio listeners? There are great periodic programs like #MusicalStarstreams (which I think is broadcast in Hawaii but gets mirrored around the world).

Sadly, I looked into the digital info that’s embedded in audio broadcasts, and unfortunately it only contains the track playing right now; no scheduling info. In principle that’s not a total show-stopper. We should be able to get scheduling info online. But so far I have found nothing. The closest thing is this:

https://www.radio-browser.info

That’s great for finding stations that play genres you like, but it does not have program-specific scheduling info. No way to search for “musical starstreams” and get back a list of times & places where it is broadcast.

Thanks!

Note that i get the following:

Error!

There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

The server returned this error: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=offgrid%40slrpnk.net&page=1&limit=20&sort=Active&type_=All. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error

I suppose (hope) that’s an uncommon glitch. I was at least able to subscribe using the search method.

There is an “offgrid” community on slrpnk.net. I would like to interact with that community from waveform.social. How can I create that community on waveform.social as a federated community, not as a separate new one?

how can the community lists be filtered by domain? (waveform.social)

For example, suppose you click: communities » All and then query:

tech -site:lemmy.world

in the world of web searches, that would look for “tech” but it would exclude results on lemmy.world. I see no way to do this. In general, there are certain instances that folks might prefer to avoid. Seeing an imbalanced ocean of links flooding in from a giant node isn’t useful if we are actually looking for less central communities.

Are there #hashtags on lemmy? Can I follow them? Can I group them?

#Lemmy apparently has no concept of hashtags, but when you write a post it’s still a good idea to write hashtags because kbin & mastodon users can search by hashtag and find your post.
