Thanks for your input. I see what you mean about nwobhm specific community, however to me that seems like having a community dedicated to only speed metal, a little unnecessary. To be completely honest, when I think of heavy metal, I’m really associating that with old-school heavy metal (as in style, not necessarily age), as opposed to just generic modern metal with no deeper subgenre associated. By all means that sorta stuff should just be posted to the generic metal community, along with newer, miscellaneous experimental stuff. I’m envisioning this community to be based around traditional-style heavy metal and like you mentioned, nwobhm. Could also be a cool place to find older hidden gems.
The way I see it, no harm done either way. If it doesn’t gain traction, then it doesn’t gain traction, nothing changes. However, I think it will be interesting to see the demand (or lack thereof) for this type of community.
Whilst I could create the community on a different instance, to me it makes more sense to have it on my home instance. Also it is more likely to gain traction on here, and it seems more logical to revive a dead community, then make a new one completely, under the same name. Long term, I think that works better than having a ton of dead communities under the same name on different instances, which is certainly sure to make the fediverse less user-friendly to newbies. Once the fediverse has a significant number of MAUs then we can worry about decentralising a little more. Anyway, I’m getting a little sidetracked here.
Assuming ownership is actually transferred to me in the first place, think I’m just going to go for it.

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.

Be the change you want to see. Post more often etc. Content isn’t farmed the way it was on Reddit. There are no ads and no corporation pushing content. Sad truth is there aren’t many people on Lemmy, and it is going to take a while to gain any major growth in userbase, if at all. All we can do is be resilient and try to create meaningful content, and hope people gradually start joining, to the point where niche communities start being filled.

I’d say anyone under 30 is “young”.

Right-on spankmonkey! Great way of explaining it. I’m gonna be a dick, though, and take things a step further. I don’t see the need for asexual either. Surely that means you have a low sex drive, and prefer to judge people based on personality. What do you think?
- Comment on If I’m mostly attracted to men, is it «wrong» to consider myself pan? 3 months ago:
The way I see it, does it really matter what the correct term is? I don’t see why terms are necessary. People have there preferences/place on the spectrum, like you mentioned. No offense intended to anyone here, but I think the term “pan” is sorta pointless. At the end of the day it sounds like you are bi, and your preference leans towards dudes/away from women.
Feel free to educate me if I’ve got this wrong.

Safety, easier to switch things off without unplugging them. Why not have one if it’s more convenient? Not all of them have switches though.
