Why is there no community devoted to vinly preservation?
I think that there should be one, if there isn't. If I'm missing it, please enlighten me.

![email protected] is the community I‘m subscribed to.
Post your collections, we could use more interactions.
Go on, start a community!
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
All very valid points, I still just think they're neat and I'm gonna buy more 👍
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!
I can't wait for folks to start posting articles about how you shouldn't sniff your vinyl gas, just like we shouldn't be sniffing our steam deck exhaust.
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.
Hear hear!
Because you haven't started it yet?
There are some here, but I'm not familiar with the topic so you should judge them

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
Contribute to one or make yours :)
There is a project for recording 78s, but they are mostly shellac, not vinyl.

and probably not laserdisc
Well, as they’re both analog, why not? Why not add cylinders while we’re at it?
Be the change you wanna see
Be the change you want to see in the world :)
If you build it, they will come.
Pics?
I've several vinyl rips in my music collection. But storing the actual record seems pointless.
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.
