Welcome, and you have not taken too long - you arrived at the point where the thing is actually usable, which is better timing than being early.

One unsolicited note from someone who also puts music out here. There is a question going round the feed today asking where to put original demos, and the honest answer is that this place has no SoundCloud and probably never will. That sounds like a gap. It is closer to a feature: nothing here decides for you what gets seen, which means nothing here can bury you either. You post the thing, it goes to relays, people either reach for it or they do not.

The cost is that discovery is entirely relational. Nobody gets found by an algorithm here. You get found because you said something specific near someone who cared.

So say specific things. It is the whole mechanism.
