Just because I don’t want to pay for everything doesn’t mean I’m smart or super interested in learning a 50 step process to do what’s always been simple.
I wonder if selective pressure doesn’t play a role - the people who migrated were the ones who liked Lemmy the best, so it’s kind of expected that the ones still there have a lower-than-average opinion over Lemmy.
I also think that some people are genuinely trolling - come on, popcorn is tasty. And some are raising genuine complains about user experience here. (I feel like they’ll be ironed out faster as time goes by, as more people contribute with lemmy’s codebase.)
Let the boot lickers stay there and lick boots, the real community is already here and people who have genuinely something to discuss regarding piracy will eventually follow.
Yeah, in the end I’m here for people who know more than me providing good resources. And if they can’t figure out even making a lemmy account then they probably weren’t much help beyond memes. And I’m dumb shit, so it’s not like it takes competence to make an account.
I actually found this service easier to join than reddit. No endless captcha loops, no shadowbanning bcuz not enough karma, just fill out a simple application and you’re on.
The amount of bootlickers in that sub is just sad as hell. As others have already pointed out; the best from that sub have either already left or are in the process of doing so. Those remaining are either just shills or are super fucking lazy.
No but for real, the only people still faithfully sticking to Reddit are corporate shills and/or tech illiterate people. I see them staying there as a net positive if you ask me.
Yeah, that type of person is a large part of the reason reddit turned to shit. The relative difficulty of accessing this platform has been a great filter for casuals and clout chasers.
If anything it’s willful ignorance I suppose. Reddit was unlike any previous social media site the majority had used, so I don’t really get how “it’s too different” could be a legit argument.
and they are the sort who are afraid of change. They want everything to be automatic and low effort. that’s why reddit has become a low-effort shitpost imageboard.
Exactly all the cool kids from r/piracy came here, most of what’s left is the “How do you do a google search” crowd, they couldn’t even be bothered to fill out a basic form.
They’re complaining that Lemmy is ugly while they’re going through piracy-related websites like those aren’t a 2000’s era hot mess.
I love how Lemmy looks because it’s like old reddit. After only ever using RiF, the official app is visually awful. Their own app lags while scrolling because there’s so much shit. Forums aren’t supposed to be pretty, they’re supposed to be practical.
I’m using Memmy on iOS right now and I swear it’s as good as Apollo was, it looks great. Also a fan of wefwef.app. Anybody considering Lemmy can be ok using third party apps, it’s all fine.
Okay you’ve gotta tell me, where did you find Lemmy themes for Stylus? I’ve tried it in the past but my searches always come back empty.
Shit, forget it. I don’t know what the hell I was doing, but now it’s working. Here I was making fun of people being tech illiterate while also being tech illiterate myself.
Some do have valid points tbh. Lemmy is a bit of a pain right now and is growing. I have seen Jerboa improve in the past few weeks since I started using it which is great.
A lot of that feels like the whole “they hate what they can’t understand” bit, but overall, trolls gonna troll.
In my personal opinion, the people that are complaining about the “high” barrier of entry via the visual appeal or account creation are probably not your diehard content creators anyway.
There are many communities on Reddit that I will miss. The best people do not have the technical skills, patience, or desire to move to Lemmy, and there has been no clear direction on where they will go even if they do leave Reddit.
r/Piracy is not one of them. I firmly believe that all of the best people are already here.
According to Lemmyverse, this place already has 22k+ subscribers, 2k+ active users this week, 500+posts, and over 10k comments. By any measure, it’s one of the biggest communities in the fediverse.

Any reference to here (Lemmy) from there is going to attract trolls. That place is at least half trolls at this point.
And bots with agendas
Dey see me federatin’, dey hatin’~

I agree, but there was clout in piracy? Why wasn’t I told about this
Bruh you never whipped out the 10 TB library? Bitches love thicc Plex servers
Nothing they love more than back ups of back ups.
You don’t even need to be tech literate to join Lemmy.
I know, but the amount of people I’ve seen on Reddit the past month going like “hurr durr how do I Lemmy??? I dun understand!!!” was staggering.

I mean it pretty much works the same way as Usenet. Independent providers have servers which federate content with each other.
Not that hard of a concept.

I’ve been old reddit user so I was right at home. I wonder if the ones who consider it ugly are the ones who stuck with the default reddit.
I’m using Memmy on iOS right now and I swear it’s as good as Apollo was, it looks great. Also a fan of wefwef.app. Anybody considering Lemmy can be ok using third party apps, it’s all fine.
im still hoping a viable android app pops up soon. ik there is Jerboa but it feels kinda barebones as of right now.
liftoff is pretty solid already, and it runs on ios and windows also. feels a lot like RiF, visually.
There’s Liftoff, wefwef.app (web app), Slide is still very early alpha, Thunder. There are a lot of options.
Try Connect for Lemmy. It’s pretty close to Sync. So much so that it comes off as a clone at times.
Definitely will give it a try!
I’m a rif user and was really hoping that dev was gonna make something for Lemmy or kbin, but they decided on tiles. :/
It sure looks pretty with the Stylus extension installed. There are some nice themes to choose from.
Okay you’ve gotta tell me, where did you find Lemmy themes for Stylus? I’ve tried it in the past but my searches always come back empty.

Oh wow, that does look nice. Very reddit-style.
Maybe it’s the astroturfing another poster talked about
Sorry, it’s this post

Perhaps there’s astroturfing going on in r/piracy

Let them keep Reddit.
Therea always a threshold for when a community is large enough to be engaging without the need to necessarily grow. Piracy has already hit that point.
