Hi there, I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many nefarious actors trying to break it and I don’t have the time or energy to keep fighting them off. For your information: Over the pas month I have had to: 1. Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) si...



Much appreciated!

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

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

It's all good, much appreciated though!

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

waveform.social is closing down on 8/18 - What's next?
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
- waveform.social is closing down on 8/18

!!UPVOTE THIS POST SO PEOPLE SEE IT IN THEIR FEED!!
Sunsetting Waveform.social

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 :/

New album announced: Magnitude - Of Days Renewed...

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.

No problem!

It's a deepfake of his own face lol

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

State of the Community Address


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.

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.


Jerboa being the only one on F-Droid, guess I'm sticking with Jerboa!

Why'd you switch from i3? If it was for Wayland support, in case you didn't know, the Sway window manager is basically a drop-in replacement for i3, but for Wayland rather than X11. You can literally copy/paste your i3 config into ~/.config/sway/ and it will only need a few minor tweaks to get fully working!
I just made the switch this past week. The one caveat is Polybar doesn't work correctly with Sway, so I had to configure Waybar instead. Waybar has some cool features though, like being able to place the tray anywhere you want, so it was worth the effort to switch.

New EP from Triple B Records: Two Cent Circus, by Missing Link

Lol no thanks man.

Okay, yeah, I think I had to update (or I'm blind). Thanks! That's much better!

I'm cool with a 1 time fee to stop ads, but I don't see how to do that anywhere. I can only figure out how to pay $2/month or $17/year for Ultra

Developers make more money than I do, and I need to worry about my own food first lol. I'd pay $35 one time, but I also remember a time not that long ago where $10 one-time could buy you basically anything on the app store lol.
I like the app, but I hate recurring fees more. Jerboa is free. It might not be perfect, but it works, is ad-free, is on F-Droid, and is infinitely more affordable than $17/yr.

I despise recurring fees, so no. $17 sounds good for a 1-time fee though.

A community for the discussion of Hardcore Punk!


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!

Here's the link to their GoFundMe. I know this community is as small as rat dicks right now, but throw a couple dollars their way if you can spare it. I’m sure they would wicked appreciate it. Madi is in critical condition with head and spinal injuries, other members have broken bones, and their tour van is totaled. Sounds completely fucked. Best of luck to them!
