Rule 1:
Sexy pirate John Oliver artwork ONLY
Now I have been there for around 4-5 months and Reddit just killing piracy over there and making it a rule uploading this bullshit sucks.
It is not really a useful sub anymore, get off.
Yes I will be active on her though. It is the only useful thing now.
Growing pains. There’s been like 1000% growth or something ridiculous in the past week. The nature of the fediverse will make it more resilient in the long term and the backend software is rapidly being updated.
You could also try a different instance, could be too much load on dbzer0’s server.
EDIT: I don’t think open hostility towards people having issues with Lemmy is productive. We should be helping people with the issues they’re having if we want to grow. There is a learning curve to this.
It’s honestly hilarious Reddit bungled this so badly as to upset everyone. Ah well, at least with this digital piracy community I can rest assured a corporation isn’t censoring discourse.
Fmhy are just providers of the instance and that’s what their general communities focus on. For information regarding the high seas, this is the community you want to look into.
No actually fmhy is technically a “competitor” to this community if you want to call it that. I personally think fmhy has a better megathread than this one due to it being updated much more frequently, but essentially both communities are similar.
Yeah, that’s literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.
I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should’ve just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.
They are for sure, there’s posts about it everywhere, but they’re reaching out individually to each sub (like, individually messaging the moderation teams, even), so it’s not like there wasn’t at least some conscious effort on their part with regards to r/piracy in particular.
The power of Reddit lies within its very diverse and many communities on special interests. People browsing r/piracy also browse the Frontpage, r/all and so on. But mainly their special interests is what kept them there. Because funny memes can be found everywhere.
Now, if those special interests are not being served any more, people will go elsewhere. So no, I don’t think they will be happy and investors won’t be either.
But then they should be happy we wanted to stay close right? How is a big dead sub better than a private one new people wouldn’t even know it exists? Forcing r/piracy open was a very weird decision, I still don’t get it.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
⚓ Dedicated to the discussion of digital piracy, including ethical problems and legal advancements.
I didn’t use /r/piracy, but I do read this forum
Arr, take my wooden peg!
Active on her? She’s a lucky lady 😂
Yarrr

You are more than welcome to hop on and improve the code base yourself or host your own instance.
Downvoted but idk another social media app that has CONSTANT “Timeouts” on gigabit ethernet except this one.

I agree. Lemmy is not as mature as Mastodon, and federation adds a whole extra layer of complexity. Growing pains are too be expected.
It’s probably a good thing that the early adopters tend to be more technically savvy/tolerant.
Meanwhile, yarr!
5th June there was about 58k total users lemmy/kbin combined I think, now there is about 320k if not more
Yeah, bye. We wont miss you.
This project is used to dealing with like 10 users online at once, and now there’s literally tens of thousands. Cut them some slack
Ich war dabei. Los Piraten!

Elon has shown the way to spectacularly self destruct!
@hyperio The great thing is, I don’t even have to sign up. I just follow this sub (do you still call it a sub?) from my #Mastodon!
Ahh, bless the #Fediverse.
I think is called community now. At least is c/piracy to access !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
You would think that a pirates favorite letter be the r/, but it truly always was the c/.
This is a top tier joke and you should be proud of yourself
The C is for Crime :3
I regret that all im able to give you is a mere upvote
pirates be at ‘SEA’ now…
Aaarg!!!
Quick question, how does this piracy community compare with fmhy?
Fmhy are just providers of the instance and that’s what their general communities focus on. For information regarding the high seas, this is the community you want to look into.
No actually fmhy is technically a “competitor” to this community if you want to call it that. I personally think fmhy has a better megathread than this one due to it being updated much more frequently, but essentially both communities are similar.
Either one community will become big and the other small.
Or, the two communities will start going into niches (like, one being more focused on movies and the other games)
And seeing as you can subscribe to both, I assume that these communities will assist each other.
The strength of federation is that you have no “one-true-community” anymore. If one gets sick (I.e. Reddit) you have other safe havens to take over
Let’s do it then
Do you think they just want to troll you?
Have you really not read one of the many stickied posts all over Reddit about the blackout and what the admins are going to do to that website?
It’s supposed to suck!
Yeah, that’s literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.
Reddit is probably going to be happy about the protest in this sub. Can’t imagine that investors like the sub about getting stuff for free…
I mean, the sub was closed and Reddit forced it to reopen, so there is an argument they do endorse piracy
I still can’t believe Reddit actually decided to do that. I thought they were going to ban the sub or keep it closed.
I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should’ve just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.
I imagine that they are doing this to more than just the piracy sub and it’s widespread across reddit communities
They are for sure, there’s posts about it everywhere, but they’re reaching out individually to each sub (like, individually messaging the moderation teams, even), so it’s not like there wasn’t at least some conscious effort on their part with regards to r/piracy in particular.

Just the quality of replies and posts here over the old sub, is honestly alone worth the move.
Piracy and privacy guides, two main reasons why I’m here. Arggg 🤣
