So today is 22 August, which means that SoundCloud groups are officially removed
. Since this is the LMMS forums, this means that there's not gonna be any more LMMS group
.
So with all of that happening, how are we gonna showcase LMMS songs without groups? And how are future BoL's (Best of LMMS) gonna be handled?

Crossed-X says I. You've already got a fairly decent platform built, it just needs a little more exposure

Collect LMMS tracks you like and add them to a dedicated playlist. I used to do periodic playlisting for LMMS tracks:

This has been running for quite a while now. Good option?

I'm not on reddit. Should I be?
I like Google+ groups. For some reason, I like Google+...
It's my favourite social media.

That is very sad.
That soundcloud group thing did come in handy though.
In my case, the sad thing was, I never got a chance to use it yet.

So far, I have only been checking the LMMS subreddit occasionally, without an account. Google+ groups could also be an option, and of course we have this forum.
It depends on where the majority of SoundCloud group users will eventually go to. Most likely a place that has the most support and integration of SoundCloud and its features.

Thanks for all of the responses!
You all have answered my question of how people are gonna promote themselves, but how are future BoL's gonna be handled?

Removing groups in soudcloud is very nasty and vile decision on their part... no play, no activity, no nothing.
I already totally lost interest.
If you find and decide what is the new good alternative, please announce here.
best regards
