Ah nice, these didn’t exist when I did my initial search for a place to post which is why I landed where I did. I am just apprehensive to carry on posting and trying to build something where there is no one actively controlling it which is why I thought Id jump onto this post and see what you had to say.

The realdubstep community you mentioned is definitely where what I have been posting would fit in best but if you aren’t able to contact the owners of that either then there is no point in jumping ship.

I considered making a community on my home instance (fmhy) i just don’t want there to be a million different communities that could confuse lemmy noobs when it is already a fairly niche subject in the grand scheme of things.

I remember reading about the possibilty of the instance owner being able to transfer ownership of a community, is that true? Could we get the dubstep communities on lemmy world under some active control?

Thanks bot-man.

Hey man, been lurking since you pretty much started posting, just dont have much to post myself.

I have however been posting over in - https://lemmy.ml/c/dubstep pretty much every single day just trying to build content as that is more my area.

I dont know who created it or who mods it but it is the only dubstep community i have found so far. Im trying to post content based on the proper “real” dubstep sound and not the robots fighting brostep sound. I dunno if you wanted to create a community on lemmy world instead I would be happy to move my posting over to there just to have some cohesion of instance where all these bass music based communities live but i would be happy to do so.

Either way keep up the good work over here and I’ll keep posting regardless xD

Why would I do that? I think you missed the point that the puncture forced me to do something I hadn’t planned to do which was ultimately very enjoyable.

That’s the one.

I guess so, whilst it can be annoying in the moment for the most part I am happy to walk home and take that risk.

That one pinch flat I mentioned was during an acid trip and turned what would have been a slightly better than average 60km road ride into a 3 plus hour trek through some beautiful countryside with a great hour long chat with my mum on the phone. I still fondly remember that day and needless to say I wouldn’t have had such a great day if I’d had a repair kit on me.

However everyone will have different experiences with punctures xD

Doki doki literature club.

I couldn’t see it recommended anywhere which surprises me considering the hype around it when it first came out. This is the only game I have ever played that gave me a genuine feeling of unease throughout. Pretty sure it is free on steam too.

I’ve seen one of them once in my city, so I think it was more of a one off ran by an LBS, so I definitely think that is a perk of where ever you are located.

Armourer tyres more than do the job for me and I am already carrying my lunch and clothes and other shit in my backpack, I don’t need innertubes and tools adding to that weight :D

Tyres definitely make a lot of difference in my experience. Changing out the cheap schwalbe for a specialised crossroads that is armoured made all the difference. I haven’t had one puncture with that tyre, can’t recommend an armoured tyre enough if you are using your bike all the time and want reliability!

For shorter distances I will always choose to skate, it is much more convenient as I don’t have to deal with locks and helmets and specialist shoes etc and isn’t much slower unless there are significant uphills.

Good bit of cross training too pushing a skateboard instead of pedalling xD

I carry nothing, I have cycle commuted on this bike 4 - 5 days a week for the last 7 years or more as well as doing rides for myself. When i first got the bike I had a couple of flats on the rear, I changed the tyre and since then I’ve had 1 flat in around 6 and a half years so I just don’t see the point.

The flat I did have was a pinch in the front from a huge pothole I didn’t see on a route I didn’t know so it was what I would consider exceptional circumstances too.

How often do you actually use that stuff?

I have found most of the things I want through a combination of piratebay and 1337x for torrents, soulseek, librevox for old stuff and a library app. I have then mirrored what I have got via torrents up on to soulseek.

I have recently been using the scribd free trial so might be worth checking there, they do a 30 day free trial then when you go to cancel the sub they will offer an additional 30 days free too.

I only use 1x speed for audiobooks, i listen to them whilst at work and I want them to take up as much times as possible for me. I also don’t want to miss anything if I’m concentrating a bit harder on a specific task I’m doing. Where as something like youtube I watched everything there on 1.75x speed because that is my own time and I want to get the info as quickly as possible.

I never read however. I’ve enjoyed getting into audiobooks because of the fact I find reading absolutely mindnumbing and it sends me to sleep so I’m glad to be able to experience all the good stories out there without having to read xD

I ran into issues with sometimes not being able to view some other users files when I requested a list of what they were sharing, but I don’t really know the ins and outs of how it all works, I just know that plenty of people downloaded a lot of stuff from me so it must have been working for some people :)

https://lemmy.ml/c/dubstep I have been posting over here, if you like some dubstep come join in :D

Also https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/trap here for some trap.

I have been using soulseek for the last 6 months without port forwarding and plenty of people have downloaded a lot of stuff from me, however I have just switched to airvpn as well and can confirm now have port forwarding so Im hoping more people can access my files!

I absolutely do where I can but when a lot of stuff gets released within the scene I am into on a dead inferior format (vinyl) exclusively then I am absolutely going to pirate that shit if I can.

Found this looking for a beatmatch or dj community. Did you have any luck finding any?

Beatmatch specifically was great as it wasn’t as gate keepy in my experience.

God I am sick of remakes and remasters of all the same old shit.

I use Asgard along with real debrid which will populate your search results with torrents as well as other results and has been working well for me for a while now.
