When people post a link to a song, there is no way to tell what kind of music it is or what period it’s from. To help engagement and the user experience, I suggest we require people to at least write the genre and year in the title of their post. Bonus points for adding some explanation in the body of the post about the significance of the song and why they’re sharing it.
The year is a useful metric, unfortunately genre is such a sloppy thing it is definitely better left out. For that genre specific communities should be used.
I feel that Lemmy is still too small for many genres to have their own community.
Disagree, even a generic genre marker is useful.
