At least I can try
I've pretty much decided that this experiment of mine here is only going to last until spring. Indeed it does appear Hive is poor choice for music, but my mind could still be changed and maybe Hive'll fit into the big picture somehow. At least I can try a few promotion things.
Promotion bucket list
- promoting via a "snap"
- promoting using PeakD post promotion
- posting to hive "music" channel
Shorter tunes and Wednesdays
Also I've decided to produce tunes between 3 and 5 minutes long and hold off on the longer ones for now. This is as much for me to improve my editing skills as it is for the people who don't like listening to long things in this age of 30 second TikTok clips.
The astute observer might also notice I was two days late this week (fortunately I don't think anyone is really paying attention 😀) but the plan is still to release the tunes on Wednesdays, really!
Your thoughts are always welcome!

Also a #caturday bonus picture of my cat Lefty on keys! (RIP)
Nice cat. What chord is it playing?
Getting noticed on Hive can be hard as you have to promote yourself. There are some communities where your music may fit. There are also contests like the Vibes one. I see you follow some musicians, so leave them a comment as people appreciate the engagement.
Nothing is guaranteed here, but Hive is full of potential.
BTW I see you have used Blurt. Some people here don't like it too much, but we have to be pragmatic. You can post music videos to 3speak to embed in posts.
Have fun.

Hey thanks for the comment.
I'd turn the keys off whenever he did that. He did alter a sound in one of my synths once (Somehow pressing multiple buttons simultaneously while sitting on it), now a sound I still use.
3Speak didn't work for me when trying to sign up and support email to them went unanswered, I could try again I suppose. Besides 3Speak and You Tube are there other services you can embed the video here? Odysee maybe?
I like that blurt media is peer tube but I'm really only using it because it was the one that I was able to sign up and into when I was looking for that.
Thanks for the beer I'll check into that 😀
3speak was playing up recently, but I was able to upload videos recently. You may get help in their Discord. I tend to use that and Youtube with Soundcloud as an option for just audio. We could do with more decentralised options.
Hive beer is not worth too much, but I add it as an extra tip.
