We're trying not to add too many similar communities, after dsound didn't respond we went with Hive Open Mic.

Fair enough. I was a mod in dsound community a long time ago but it went quiet from them after the whole steemit delegation went, then they said they'd have more communication of progress and development but it's been a bit "tumbleweedy" the last 18 months which is a shame but que sera sera!

Do you have any reason for that? And what is the merit and demerit of adding too many similar communities? I will like to learn, thanks

We don't have unlimited voting power to push most posts to a reasonable reward or at least past the curve tax.

Not officially - I was only asking by commenting ages ago but the music-community will change a bit, we created a logo, a voting bot I delegated a bit and more activities to follow by @ylich and myself with our small stake. As I mentioned often we have too many music communities - i do not want to be the one to say which one is the one to unite all - sure Hive open Mic is a wise decision by @acidyo. Any support of course will be appreciated. For now we will just try to simply motivate the members of our community a little bit more also by an official account - hence a team is probably required for that moving forward. More on that soon.

Yeah there are a lot of little subsets of music communities but would be good if the similar ones can combine forces, especially if it's a general music community. I know Open Mic is different and more for acoustic performance (guitar and microphone) which rules me out of it - at least that's my impression of it.

There are still niches in music though and it would be cool to have different branches organised by one leading group to make it look more professional. E.g. Maybe there can be an Electronic music version of Open Mic (I think @daltono runs that community?) and it's part of the branding...

Don't know, just throwing ideas out there and seeing if great minds can come together to make something work!
