Much appreciated!

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I've done the same for you guys as well!

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 4 points 1 year ago

No problem man. It definitely does, but i knew this was a possibility. We'll push on.

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's all good, much appreciated though!

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 2 points 1 year ago

Much appreciated! It is what it is. Eventually stability will come.

 

So, the instance this community is hosted on is being sunset due to no-life piece of shit degerate DDoSing script kiddie bitches targeting a relatively small music-based Lemmy instance. As pathetic as it is that this is how some loveless freak losers choose to spend their time and money, the sooner I react to this roadblock, the more of this community can be preserved.

I don't think a full community migration on Lemmy is possible yet, so we're gonna have to start over from scratch.

Lemmy.studio looks good I think. Music-based, only 2 blocked instances, open to new communities. Waveform.social seems to mostly house communities for electronic music, while Lemmy.studio at least has an emo community where mfs are posting The World Is A Beautiful Place albums. I think it'll be a better fit for us overall.

Tl;dr

Daaaaaaaamn, my community was just getting some traction. It's crazy people's lives are so devoid of purpose that they choose to spend it attacking a relatively small music-based instance.

Thanks for dealing with it as long as you did. Guess it's time to pack up and move to another instance :/

I'm honestly not 100% sure, but I don't think so. Waybar does though, with the tooltip option.

Waybar is similar to Polybar, but only works on Wayland rather than X11. Configuration is a bit different, but similar in many respects. If you're using i3 with Polybar now, you can install Sway as the window manager and drop your i3 config into ~/.config/sway/, it should work exactly the same as i3 after a few minor tweaks. Once Sway is set up, you can install and configure Waybar. The config file is not a drop-in replacement like Sway was for i3, but if you can figure out Polybar, you can figure out Waybar.

Hell yeah man! I've been cycling between Excalibur and New Lords for the past few months. They're so sick.

Hey everyone, just wanted to provide an update on the state of the community and where I hope to take it going forward. We have been, and currently are, the most active and well-populated hardcore community on Lemmy (according to browse.feddit.de)! I've promoted the community in a few spots and saw immediate growth from that, which is awesome. I'm very stoked about how this community has grown, I thought it would be largely ignored when I first created it, so it warms my heart to see you mfs posting anything at all here!

One thing I don't want here is to have a bunch of stupid ass rules for posting preventing people from engaging with the community however they want, even if it gets to be a little too much. I want this to be a free place where unless you're posting like a degenerate sub-human, you can post whatever you want (as long as it mostly relates to hardcore of course).

That said, almost all posts to this community come in the form of links to songs on YouTube or whatever. This is perfectly fine, I do it myself, however I don't want that to be all the community engages in. I would like to see more discussion, hardcore/punk news, shitposts, memes, etc etc. Rather than make some kind of dumb rule about no spamming songs from 30 years ago, I want to encourage real conversations to take place by creating pinned weekly discussion threads. Consider this thread the very first one!

I'll be honest with you folks, I created this community just because I wanted a hardcore community on Lemmy similar to r/hardcore as that was the only sub I felt like I was missing when I left Reddit. I don't really care to be an admin/mod that much, and have no experience doing so, but putting myself in this role was what it took to get this community established. I'm not sure how I'm going to structure these weekly discussions, whether they'll be on a recurring basis on the same day each week, or how many of these threads will be active at once.

If you have any input on this, this is your community as well! Feel free to voice it here. If you have ideas for weekly threads, post them here! If you have on-topic ideas for discussion, create a post for it and it might get pinned.

In other news, our sidebar resource list is anemic as hell. I would like to have more resources community members can use to find local shows, events, blogs/zines, and news posted up in there (especially if it's a DIY site, not limited to DIY though). If you have anything you believe fits well in the sidebar, post your ideas here! I want the sidebar to be somewhere you can look to get into the scene in real life, not just on the internet. The more links to DIY projects in there, the better!

I'm extremely proud of the growth we've experienced the past few weeks, and even though the content posted here is mostly just links to songs, it's way more engagement than the other hardcore communities get. I think we are seeing the start of something good here, we just need to keep working to make this the best community it can be.

No gods, no masters, no cops (unless you post high-quality content), no corporate bitches, no u/spez. Just music, and the wild animals who enjoy listening to it.

That's all for now!

Tl;dr:

  • We're the largest hardcore punk community on Lemmy (the largest "hardcore" community on Lemmy is NSFW lolz).
  • I don't ever want to make any community rules that unreasonably limit what you're allowed to post, just don't break any laws and don't say slurs plz. Don't give me a reason to moderate you, and I probably won't.
  • Posting links to songs on YouTube is perfectly fine and will never be taken away from you, however, I would like to see more varied types of posts here.
  • In order to facilitate that desire, I will be creating weekly pinned discussion threads so you goons have something to actually talk about.
  • This is the first pinned weekly discussion thread.
  • Sidebar is lacking in resources. Post resources people can use to find shows, events, blogs, etc, and I will add them if they seem relevant.
  • If you have any input on any of this, post it below!

Gotcha, fair enough! I run Arch with Gnome on my desktop gaming rig for similar reason, I just wanted a normal DE that I didn't have to tweak much. Laptop is where I have Sway/Waybar and experiment with different window managers and such.

Damn some of you guys are creative! I'm fairly satisfied with my setup, but its pretty basic.

 

A community I created for the discussion of hardcore punk.

r/hardcore is the only subreddit I miss, as it was pretty much the only subreddit with a soul. Working on rebuilding a similar community on lemmy. We're growing, I think we're the biggest hardcore community on Lemmy, but these lazy mfs don't post anything lol.

If you wanna discuss hardcore, post your band's music, post a video of a show, post info about an upcoming show, link to resources for finding shows, anything like that, feel free to subscribe! I'm a big fan of the DIY mentality in music, so if you've got something, share it mother fucker!
