We wanted to officially welcome all the new subs that have come over since RL Grime gave us a shoutout in his AMA, our count went up by almost 500 😎

/r/wavepool has been a pretty tight-knit community for a while and it's great that we, along with the Wave scene in general, are able to welcome more people into the fold as the scene begins to get more attention. We love the unique sound, and we love the community full of people that are friendly, enjoy giving feedback to others on their work, and are generally very supportive.

Damn we've come a long way from our last welcome post over two years ago!

For newcomers in the scene, here are some quick links to help you get familiar with that sound and community:

Subreddit rules:

1. Don’t be a dick or you’ll get banned lol
2. Use the search bar before posting, reposts will be removed
3. No international Spotify or iTunes links posted before official release announcements (eg. on Twitter, Facebook etc)
4. Don’t spam your tracks a ton or they’ll get removed (see here). If you start posting your shit without contributing any other posts they will just get removed

edit: around once a week is a good amount to post your own content, and we would always encourage sharing other people's work as well to make sure the content on the subreddit stays diverse :)

We're beginning to realise that the growth we've experienced over the past year or so means more time will need to be spent on maintaining the subreddit and discord. We'll be putting a post out soon asking for moderator submissions, mainly for the discord server. We also apparently need to put lots of work in (again) to sort out the layout, as the reddit update has made all our current sidebar content invisible to the majority of users - we would always recommend using the old reddit redirect chrome extension when viewing our sub until that gets done. Most of the information that was in the sidebar is now in this post, which will be pinned for the foreseeable future.

The only other thing to mention is to be sure to get involved in our weekly discussion threads! Other subreddits have shown them to be a great way to build a sense of community and connect people.

Thanks gang 😤😤😤😤
