Hi to anyone who reads this.

I’ve been considering moving the community for a while whilst I’m still the only main poster so as to try and dilute communities and make Lemmy in general less centralised due to how many communities are hosted by .world. The longer I waited to do this the harder it may be to rebuild but as it is mostly still me posting hopefully the people who lurk will be happy to subscribe to the new community and in time hopefully it can grow into a more active place with my contributors.

More and more instances are also defederating with Lemmy.world recently over their questionable moderating and views. These politics should be kept out of music and music enjoyment / discussion and I want as many people to be able to both see and discover the music that is being posted here. This community is going to be stunted from growing and have less eyes on it in /all by staying on .world.

As such I have created a community over at -

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/dubstep

!dubstep@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I’m going to continue posting two releases a day, as I have done here for over a year, just over there now where hopefully a better community can slowly be built and be seen by everyone who wants to.

Please come and join me over there, subscribe if you are just a lurker who enjoys the music I post. Hopefully one day there will be enough of us to have some better discussions but until then I will keep posting!

    Well done, good luck for your move! As a suggestion, you can try locking the current community so that people will be pushed to move to the new one.

      I did consider this but despite the fact that 99% of content here was posted by me I’m still not the sole moderator and I didn’t create this place initially so I went with the choice of pinning this in the hopes it is the first thing people see and it will redirect them.

      Even though none of the other moderators are active in any sense of the word I also didn’t want to over step in that regard and lay waste to this one.

      I may still do so regardless but these were just my initial thoughts on the matter.
