Requesting c/heavymetal
Requesting c/heavymetal
Mod is active on lemmy, however community has been inactive for quite some time. I did post on there a while back, but all content in the community seems to have been deleted since. Last October I sent DMs to the current owner requesting mod/transfer of leadership, however never heard back. I am the founder/mod of c/thrashmetal. Thanks.
Wasn't that the one that got shuttered in favor of !metal@lemmy.world ?
I might be misremembering that, but c/metal is the one most people use currently. It's not exactly a high volume of posts, but it's steady
Idk anything about that. I understand most people post to !metal@lemmy.world, but it would be nice to have a platform specifically for heavy metal/nwobhm, rather than random non-specific tracks. I'm personally less knowledgeable about heavy metal than, say, thrash or death, but I too would be interested in what people could contribute, looking to learn more about it. I have enough to contribute initially to hopefully get it off the ground. I just wanna try to revive it and see where it goes. If people don't play ball in at least a few months, then what will be will be.
Hey, if you wanna try, go for it.
I'd say you'd serve the lemmyverse better by starting one fresh on a different instance, since there's already issues with .world having laggy federation.
As a user, and a metal head, drawing a distinction been between "metal" and "heavy metal" is, well, a circle jerk. Now, a fresh nwobhm specific one, that makes sense; as lemmy does seem to keep growing slowly, so there's eventually going to be enough users that genre specific communities is useful.
I hate throwing circle jerk in there like that, but I can't think of a less aggressive term that still expresses the lack of any real difference outside of very narrow usage that even fairly dedicated genre heads don't always use.
Hmmm. Yeah, the existing mod looks slightly active, but barely. As in only one visible interaction since January. Let's try pinging them one last time before I transfer the community...
Hey @Mobiledecay@lemmy.world, are you still around? If so, pease respond.
