Hey everyone!

The very real, not fish-themed Lemmyvision returns for its third edition! For those not in the loop, read below to learn more about this Lemmy Event:

TL;DR

• From right now and until May 3rd, discuss with your Lemmy instance or community about which song to send to the contest.
• Submit the song in this community by making a new thread.
• On May 4th, voting will begin. You will rank your favourite songs in a form. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
• On May 11th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.
• You can use [email protected] 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.

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 as well! Basque, Welsh, Cherokee… you’re welcome to promote a non official language if your community / instance wants to. 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.

This post, and the [email protected] community will be open until May 3rd, 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 May 4th, the songs will be locked in. A playlist will be created to allow you to listen to all of the submitted songs, and everyone will be invited to vote on their favourite. The voting is estimated to last for about a week. On May 11th the results will be published, with a ranking of everyone’s favourite songs!

For the second edition, lemmy.ca was allowed to send three songs, each one in a different language (French Canadian, English, and Inuktitut, in their case). This means your community can send multiple songs if you want to showcase its different languages!

For the first edition, 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 instance or 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!

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!

• Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
• Only one (1) song per language per community is to be sent.
• 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 after January 1st, 2025.
• 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 different streaming platforms aren’t the same), but I’m pretty lenient, just ask me if you’re not sure, better to discuss than argue

• 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.

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.

The first two editions went really well, and I managed to handle the whole thing alone. Programming.dev even helped with setting up the playlist during Lemmyvision 1! 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!

Clip Brel Au Suivant LSF

Au suivant, au suivant

Tout nu, dans ma serviette, qui me servait de pagne
J’avais le rouge au front et l’savon à la main
Au suivant, au suivant
J’avais juste vingt ans et nous étions cent vingt
À être le suivant de celui qu’on suivait
Au suivant, au suivant
J’avais juste vingt ans et je me déniaisais
Au bordel ambulant d’une armée en campagne
Au suivant, au suivant

Moi, j’aurais bien aimé un peu plus de tendresse
Ou alors un sourire, ou bien avoir le temps
Mais, au suivant, au suivant
Ce n’fut pas Waterloo, non, non, mais ce n’fut pas Arcole
Ce fut l’heure où l’on r’grette d’avoir manqué l’école
Au suivant, au suivant
Mais je jure que d’entendre cet adjudant d’mes fesses
C’est des coups à vous faire des armées d’impuissants
Au suivant, et au suivant

Je jure sur la tête de ma première vérole
Que cette voix, depuis, je l’entends tout le temps
Au suivant, au suivant
Cette voix qui sentait l’ail et le mauvais alcool
C’est la voix des nations et c’est la voix du sang
Au suivant, au suivant
Et depuis, chaque femme, à l’heure de succomber
Entre mes bras trop maigres, semble me murmurer
Au suivant, au suivant

Tous les suivants du monde devraient s’donner la main
Voilà ce que la nuit je crie dans mon délire
Au suivant, au suivant
Et quand je n’délire pas, j’en arrive à me dire
Qu’il est plus humiliant d’êt’suivi que suivant
Au suivant, au suivant
Un jour, je m’ferai cul-de-jatte, ou bonne sœur, ou pendu
Enfin, un d’ces machins où je n’s’rai jamais plus
Le suivant, le suivant.
