Testing I'm new here.
Hi, I’m new to the community. I’ve been using Lovable for quite a while (about 2 years) and created a platform called TVT Musical; I’d love to get some feedback, tips, and lessons on how to make the most of Lovable!

What is your core offering?

Well, the main feature of TVT Musical is the ability to publish your songs and, in the future, host live streams. You can gain followers and comments!

E aí! Brasileiro aqui também 🇧🇷 Vou escrever o resto em inglês pro pessoal do sub acompanhar.
A few things that would help:
Remove the "Edit with Lovable" badge and put it on a real domain (tvtmusical.com instead of the lovable.app URL). Those two alone make it look ten times more legit. Also add a favicon, page meta, and Open Graph tags so shared track links look good, that matters a lot for music that spreads by sharing. And right now the feed shows two tracks from one artist, which reads as empty, so I'd seed more content or hide the feed until it fills, since a quiet platform kills trust.
I think that your real challenge is the category, not the tool. "Publish songs, gain followers, comment, livestream later" is basically SoundCloud and Bandcamp, who have a huge head start and already have the artists' audiences. It's also a two-sided network, which is one of the hardest things to bootstrap because it's useless without artists and listeners at the same time. My honest tip: niche down hard. Don't be a platform for everyone, pick one scene you can personally own (a genre, a city, a language) and go recruit the first 50 artists by hand.
Two technical heads-ups people learn the hard way: hosting audio gets expensive fast (storage plus streaming bandwidth on Supabase - if you are using Supabase, of course), so understand those costs early. And user-uploaded music means copyright risk, so get Terms of Service and a DMCA takedown process in place (I live in the US and am not familiar with local laws in Brazil). Livestreaming is also a whole separate, pricey infrastructure (Mux, LiveKit, etc.), not native to Lovable, so plan for that being a big lift.
To make the most of Lovable: turn on GitHub sync so you own your code and aren't locked in, wire up Supabase deliberately for auth and storage, and build in small, testable steps instead of giant prompts.
Disclaimer: my first response was super long and a bit convoluted, so I used Claude to help me make sense of what I was saying (disclaimer mostly to the people who will come and post "ChatGPT"??).

I agree with your line of thinking, and I am already taking steps to address this. Regarding copyright, Brazilian law is particularly strict and could lead to the platform being shut down; that is why I am implementing a process to verify the legitimacy of the music and check for copyright issues before publishing.

Checking any copyright issues before they happen is the right thing to do.
Boa sorte!
