If you think those rules are too restrictive, wait until you see your instance’s rules. You have to follow those regardless of which community you post in.

My rules are there to help people search for music that has already been posted. I generally ask someone to fix their post and wait a day or two if it’s something minor like that.

In the case of this community, it’s for music that was originally created before 1950. Modern performances are allowed.

These separate communities already existed. These are more than what is being replaced, but since I made them I expanded the scope to include all decades that I am interested in. It’s not about traffic, it’s about letting people subscribe to their preference.
