Thank you for the advice!
The problem with this is that, even though the Facebook Page was simply mirroring the content on the blog, most of the interactions with actual bands and fans was via the Facebook page, not the blog. I don't really know if the blogpage itself has the same readership; if anything it's the other way round: I'm worried that with the Facebook page gone, people won't know to find the blog. And with the page deleted, I have no visible way of informing my subscribers either.
I did create a 'backup' page on Facebook (here: https://www.facebook.com/Metalised-Life-112985154608128 https://www.facebook.com/Metalised-Life-112985154608128) and announced the hack to people on the 'main' page, but the main page was taken down before people subscribed to the backup. Annoyingly, this announcement was part of the same post announcing the 'best of 2021 metal albums', which got many upvotes and replies from the bands and fans involved, but it's almost as if nobody noticed the part about the hack and the 'backup' page in the post...
- tomcooks 5y agoIf there's a community that's going to hunt you down until they find the info they need in your ultraspecific, obscure, niche blog, it's metalheads. Open a quick forum and work on it, build SEO articles, ask people to share articles on other pages, and grow your community double the one you had on FB instead of despairing and worrying about stupid upvotes. Best of luck
- KennyBlanken 5y agoReach out to bands who know you personally and ask them if they'll help spread the word about the new community. You can coordinate to do so on a particular date. Reddit has a couple of popular metal subreddits, etc.
