Requesting c/heavymetal

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨serpineslair@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨support@lemmy.world⁩

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.

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.

  I think we can safely assume he is still not around xD.

    Thanks for the reminder. I made you the mod. Sorry for the delay; I should have done that two weeks ago.

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.
