A lot of strong songs were in contention for the Aussie Zone nomination this year. They're well worth a listen if anyones interested.
See here for the IRV explanantion and discussion on how Aussie Zone decided to vote this year.

Hey everyone!
I hope you've had a wonderful year and are ready to discover new music, because the Lemmyvision song contest return now for its second edition! For those not in the loop, read below to learn more about this Lemmy Event:
TL;DR
- From right now and until April 1st, discuss with your country’s community on Lemmy about which song to send to the contest.
- Submit the song in this community by makign a new thread.
- On April 2nd, voting will begin, where you will rank your favourite songs in a form. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
- On April 8th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.
- You can use !lemmyvision@jlai.lu for any question, this will be the community for updates and results, make sure to subscribe if you’d like to stay in the loop.
What is Lemmyvision?
Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).
Every country/community is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only” but regional languages are welcome too, if your community would like to feature a song in a regional language of your country, that’s awesome. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.
Last year, an exception was made for the programming.dev Lemmy community to participate by sending a song related to their main interest (they sent a video game soundtrack), if your community does not represent a specific country or language but wants to participate by sending a song related to your instance center of interest, you're welcome to do so! For example, lemmy.blahaj.zone could send a song composed by a Queer person!
How it works:
This post, and the !lemmyvision@jlai.lu community will be open until April 1st, and I will start promoting the event on various instances and communities. Lemmy communities who want to participate have the responsibility to gather its members and vote on a single song to send for the contest. On April 2nd, the songs will be locked in. A playlist will be created to allow you to listen to all of the submitted songs, and communities will be invited to vote on their favourite. The voting is estimated to last for about a week. On April 8th the results will be published, with a ranking of everyone’s favourite songs!
I don’t expect countries with a “small” population to be accurately represented on Lemmy, so no worries if you don’t have a community and are just a small group of people, or if your country is not even on Lemmy but another platform (Kbin and whatnot), I can make exceptions, just reach out!
Regional languages are welcome as well! Basque, Welsh, Cherokee... You’re welcome to promote a non official language instead!
Song submission:
- Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
- Only one (1) song is to be sent to represent your community.
- If the song contains vocals then it must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your choice, or a regional language of your choice.
- Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2024).
- Songs must not be international hits^[1]^.
- Submit your songs in their own thread in this community
- Verification will just require a link to the discussion thread created within your community, to ensure it’s a community (not a single person’s) decision.
[1] this is to prevent drama that happened in the past on Reddit, where Germany sent a Rammstein song and obviously won. It's up to my own appreciation of what international hit means, because it's hard to measure (metrics on youtube or spotify aren't the same), but I'm pretty lenient, just ask me if you're not sure, better to discuss it than argue
Voting:
- Voting will be done through a form created on tally.so.
- I will set up the form near the end of the month, and share it in a new announcement post when the time has come.
- If you're worried about privacy, there will be no questions about personal data, and last year I deleted the form and its results a week after the event was done.
On Federation:
I don’t discriminate based on instances, if your account is not on the same instance as your community, that’s totally fine. Additionally, if you’re on another Fediverse/Activitypub platform and would like to participate, and you’re able to federate with your representing Lemmy community, you’re welcome to join us, I’d just like to keep organization within Lemmy so it’s easier to track participations.
Would you like to help?
Last year went really well, and I managed to handle the thing alone. Programming.dev even helped with setting up the playlist! If you’d like to help in any way, please feel free to reach out, I’d love to have as many people as possible involved!!
Cheers!

TL;DR

- Next week, you'll be able to vote for your favourite song from the songs posted here.
Remember that time I wanted to set up a smaller scale Lemmyvision for summer? Yeah me neither.
But here it is, it's still summer for a week, so..
Welcome to Lemmyvision's summer edition, Sunnyvision!🌞
If you don't know what Lemmyvision is, check out the sidebar!
The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.
The first edition concluded on April (https://jlai.lu/post/6041838) with 9 instances/countries/communities participating! The Northern Boys - Sexy Train (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VXKhJfRQ7k), the feddit.uk submission, won!
For this 'lighter' edition, the goal is to celebrate the last week of summer, with some summer related tunes. You do not need to bring your instance/community, everyone can share a song, no matter what instance they're on, as long as they can federate here!
Rules
- Just post a song that was released in summer, from any year you want
- At the end of the week I'll gather all the songs posted in this thread
- You'll then be able to listen to a playlist with all those songs, and vote for your favourite!
Spread the word if you can, and I hope you have fun, and that everyone can discover new music! 🎶

The results are in! 🎶
Hey everyone!
Thank you for participating, I gathered the votes submitted until this morning and put together this little graphics to announce the results, it looks like The Northern Boys were a clear favourite with their eccentric yet catchy song ; Azahriah and Bagarre, both ex-aequo, follow them closely in second position.
Congratulations to everyone for submitting great songs!
The ranking is based on the average position out of every vote, here are the details:
- The Northern Boys - Sexy Train (avg. rank : 3.4)
- Azahriah - Introvertált dal (4.2)
- Bagarre - On est les mêmes (4.2)
- Royel Otis - Heading for the Door (4.5)
- Tiki Taane - Tangaroa (4.6)
- Cassette Beasts - Your Inception (4.9)
- Pil - Dronning af månen - (5.0)
- Lu Kala - Hotter Now (5.2)
- Puggy - Lost Child (5.5)
The ranks are super close, I personally liked every single song and it was hard to have to rank them, because the last position didn't necessarily mean the song was bad.
But wait there's more! Here's a ranking based on how many time each song was ranked first :
- The Northern Boys - Sexy Train (21 times ranked first!)
- Tiki Taane - Tangaroa (13)
- Bagarre - On est les mêmes (10)
- Azahriah - Introvertált dal (8)
- Royel Otis - Heading for the Door (8)
- Lu Kala - Hotter Now (4)
- Pil - Dronning af månen (3)
- Cassette Beasts - Your Inception (2)
- Puggy - Lost Child (1)
That means every single song submitted was at least one person's favourite song, which is heartwarming, everyone got to discover new music!
There's even more! Here's a small list of every instance's most favourite songs (the songs that were most ranked highest for each instance), Belgium sadly didn't vote :
- Australia (aussie.zone) : The Northern Boys & Tiki Taane
- Canada (lemmy.ca) : The Northern Boys
- Denmark (feddit.dk) : The Northern Boys
- France (jlai.lu) : The Northern Boys, Royel Otis
- Hungary (!hungary@lemmy.world) : Tiki Taane
- New Zealand (lemmy.nz) : Pil
- Programming.dev (programming.dev) : The Northern Boys
- United Kingdom (feddit.uk) : Bagarre, Tiki Taane, Lu Kala
- 3rd party voters : The Northern Boys, Bagarre, Royel Otis
Again, I want to reiterate how thankful I am that y'all participated. I didn't expect any response at all for such a niche event in such a niche social media, it was scary to be responsible that everything goes smoothly, but so rewarding to see people coming together and sending songs, and discovering new music from you!
What's next for Lemmyvision?
I'm going to keep the community open if you want to use it to share lesser known songs from where you're from, that you'd like people to discover, feel free to use !lemmyvision@jlai.lu as you wish, as long as it's in the spirit of this contest.
Obviously another edition will happen, and hopefully with more people, as Lemmy grows, and gathers more users, and I manage to make contact with more instances, there is an opportunity to discover even more music! If you'd like to help, feel free to send a message too!
However, I do like the idea of having smaller scale, thematic, events, or just prompts in between, like how the speedrunning event AGDQ has the SQDG in summer ; I'll think about something, but feel free to share ideas as well.
Thank you, and see you next year for Lemmyvision 2 !! 🎶

TLDR: The voting form will be published on Monday, April 8th!
Thank you everyone for your submissions so far !
When I had the idea of Lemmyvision a Sunday afternoon, I never expected it to even take off, it was a silly idea that I thought was interesting enough to put effort in, I haven't contacted as many communities as I wanted, and was scared of letting people down, and mismanaging this small event, and yet you guys showed up and participated! I wanted to sincerely thank you for taking time out of your own lives to share a part of your musical culture. 💞
Denmark and Canada needed a bit more time to vote on their respective song to send, which will conveniently give me some time to make a proper form given that I was busy this weekend. I will probably use https://tally.so/ which seems to allow infinite responses (just in case) and conditional logic on their free plan. I'm currently debating with myself on whether the voting will take form of a 1 to 5 score per song, or a ranking, or just naming your favourite (and runner up?), I'll think about it, but feel free to share your thoughts / suggestions.
If your community hasn't submitted a song yet, and would like to participate, you still have time, just send the song your community chooses before the deadline!
Meanwhile, you have time to discover the submitted songs, as well as the songs that were suggested from each community. See you next week!
