There is a project for recording 78s, but they are mostly shellac, not vinyl.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

and probably not laserdisc

HollandJim,

Well, as they’re both analog, why not? Why not add cylinders while we’re at it?

Because CDs exist?

Yes, but how about the artists that pressed their recordings only on vinyl? There are scores of artists that may have only made a couple thousand records and will be lost to time without people saving them.

Because you haven’t started it yet?

Be the change you wanna see

Contribute to one or make yours :)

Because vinyl sucks!!

On a more on topic note: Lemmy is small. We dont have the population to warrant that specific of a community, yet. I’d recommend starting by joining a community about vinyl, making posts about vinyl care, and seeing how they do. When you’re taking up a significant percentage of a larger parent topics feed, I’d say it’s time to splinter off

I’d just add that we run the risk of being extremely unappealing if we have too many communities with near 0 activity. We’re better served at the beginning having fewer, more general communities, to attract critical masses

Hear hear!

TheBlackLounge,

It’s also a problem with algorithms. Big communities drown out smaller ones because the sorting only looks at absolute numbers. Change is underway though.

All very valid points, I still just think they’re neat and I’m gonna buy more 👍

foggy,

Haha, I think Benn Jordan even says somewhere in the video that this is the only valid stance on buying vinyl. 😁

I am gonna be a lil wary about breathing while very close to my records now, I should’ve guessed there was something terrible about the big fun plastic music discs 😭 thank you for sharing the video!

Be the change you want to see in the world :)

!vinyl is the community I‘m subscribed to.

Post your collections, we could use more interactions.

Go on, start a community!

There are some here, but I’m not familiar with the topic so you should judge them

lemmyverse.net/communities?query=Vinyl

If there isn’t one that fits, consider making one or taking over an existing one to change it :)

Chances are that other people are interested too but no one has taken the initiative

I’ve several vinyl rips in my music collection. But storing the actual record seems pointless.

Where’s the funny?
