To my knowledge, there isn't. That's why for the time being, the best search engine I have found is DuckDuckGo. If you really wanted to go all out, use SearXNG, which is FOSS, and relies on self-hosted platforms, however it requires a bit of tweaking, and some instances seem to be blocked on some harsh work firewalls, at least in my experience.

The alternative is ublock, or a well-tuned noscript.

You might be a tad disappointed...

V! P! N!

I think they fall mainly into stoner metal imo.

New Wave of British Heavy Metal. EDIT: see why we shorten it? XD

Don't worry about it, I was busy until recently anyway🤣.

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

Nah I read this on a train and started masturbating uncontrollably. It's a shame I was sat at a table seat, oinked all over the people in front.

Idk I feel like if my boss saw "c*m" scrolling past while I was at work, I would be in trouble.

They marked nsfw, why didn't you?

Thanks.

Sad to see it go, one of the biggest instances. But I totally get it from the admins' point of views.

Don't forget Gmod modders!

Mine certainly isn't. 6GB vram, 16gb ram.

Yes.

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.

Speak for yourself...

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.
