!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I feel it depends a lot more on how many songs you’d be posting compared to the other activity in c/music.
I’d say post some in the main comm, and if you really want to share a boatload with of songs (like multiple everyday for the foreseeable future) create your own community and cross post a select few to the main category.
It might be nice to have a community a little broader than just Chinese music, like for non western music or maybe East Asian music.
Depends on the population number and temperance of the community. In your example, the Mandarin songs would likely be ignored. However, there’s a chicane somebody checks one out. Whereas if you made a comm for Mandarin music, those same users wouldn’t sub to it Abe would never see it.
Currently listening to Japanese music. I’m one of the ones who would give it a chance. I used to listen to a Chinese album I Shazamed in a Chinese restaurant once. I’ve long since forgotten what it was, but it was very pleasant to listen to, so I may try to find it again.
IMO doing both is probably fine
If they're not too many songs I'd just post in c/music. There's also !nonenglishmusic@piefed.social where they'll probably appreciate it more, just check the rules because they require a specific format.
I split up my communities pretty fine-grained: !reign_fc@lemmy.world for my club, !nwsl@lemmy.world for my league, !ussoccer@lemmy.world for my international side, etc. At the time, we thought the glorious revolution was just days away, and we’d have a gajillion users and we needed to be ready. In hindsight, I regret this decision and wish I had just created a single overarching woso community for everything — like !womenshockey@reddthat.com. There just aren’t a lot of users, and having a fewer, more broadly focused communities allow for larger user bases that interact with each other more often. So, if it were me, I’d post to c/music and try my best to feel comfortable taking up space.
It doesn't hurt to make a sub-category community, but please also post to c/Music. I certainly hope that on Lemmy we can stop defaulting to the majority language and culture.
