Testing @ mentions in "now playing" posts from The Indie Beat Now Playing Bot

If you are an artist who has music on Bandwagon being distributed to The Indie Beat Radio and would like to see fedi @ mentions in Now Playing posts, please send a private message to @limebar@mastodon.social and indicate your artist name(s) and handle(s) and I’ll get them added.

This allows people to more easily find you on fedi and if they happen to reply to a post with a compliment or question you’ll actually see it.

If your tracks are in heavy rotation (usually because you have many tracks available) then you’ll probably see a ton of @ mentions as a result. In that case, you can either mute them or ping me again and I’ll remove you as quick as I can. I recommend a mute because that still allows people to interact through the bot posts.
