I tried to bring others on but hardly anyone was interested. It was a struggle enough as-is just to find reliable DJs. Nobody wants to work for free, and frankly I don’t blame them. And unfortunately I didn’t have the funding nor the listener count to bring in enough revenue to actually pay people. Lemmy just doesn’t have a big enough pool of users to keep a project like this rolling. I thought about recruiting people from reddit but then that would defeat the whole point of having a radio station just for Lemmy users.
Maybe it could be themed on the reddit to fediverse pipeline/continuum hehe. But I can see that’s an exceptionally difficult project to get off the ground, since it relies on a certain critical mass to get going on its own.
Still pretty cool that you managed to test the waters. Maybe someone will stumble upon this thread in a few years and pick up the baton based on your findings.
