The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

On PieFed it looks like a still loading icon. At first I thought my account wasn't "finished" or something!:-P

[openstars@piefed.social]

Yeah but if I did do that, then somehow "I'm" the weird one... smh over here...

Account Settings (not Profile), Import/Export Settings, Export to file then repeat on new instance. It transfers subscribed communities and block lists, so if none yet then no need to bother.

For piracy, lemmy.dbzer0.com might be the best, for leftist politics definitely slrpnk.net, for science mander.xyz, and so many other themes but there's a ton of hidden factors there like uptime stats, stability via number of admins, etc.

For simplicity's sake: a USA general instance I highly recommend is Discuss.Online, or for European sopuli.xyz.

Oooooooooh, you mean like in 2001 when I was dating my first ever black girl. I was talking about how you never have breakfast foods for dinner. And she asked if I wanted chicken and waffles. I had never heard of such a dish together. I thought she was asking for two different meals, and it was weird to phrase it like that. After some back and forth, she assured me you take fried chicken, serve it WITH waffles, and cover the whole thing in maple syrup. I thought she was pranking me. So I went over, and googled it. I was suuuuure she was messing with me. Nope. It's a real thing people in the south do. I'm from Ohio. So was she, but she has family in Atlanta. I was just......why? Just why would anyone mix those foods? Still to this day I don't want it.

Then, after it had been well established that chicken and waffles was a thing, she asked "Have you ever heard of chitlins?"

I had not. Ignorance is bliss.

Thank you for keeping Lemmy lore alive, you're doing god's work.

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!

[dogwater@lemmy.world]

How do I add your piracy community to my boost app?

[illecors@lemmy.cafe]

Welcome aboard!

[jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org]

You won't be able to from a lemmy.world account like that.

[stamau123@lemmy.world]

unfortunatly .world banned piracy quite awhile ago, you'll need a different instance account

I've been dual-booting for about 2 weeks now, and I've been spending so much time in Fedora Silverblue because it's just so nice. I mean, most of the shit I do is browser stuff, so I have no issues there. Most of the time I can get apps to work, but my only gripe is not being able to use NextDNS alongside Proton VPN like I did on my windows computer . I just don't know how to get it to work, and idk how to revert my DNS settings in terminal back to default instead of NextDNS.

But like everything else is fine, and I can still do my schoolwork.

Is this really just the "backup site"? Boo, I say. Boooooo.

Also, wasn't Reddit banning links to Lemmy or something? Maybe that was only in the run-up to the IPO?

[farraigeplaisteach@lemmy.world]

Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

Especially important to understand decentralization when it comes to topics like piracy. Unlike Reddit, a non-commercial Lemmy instance isn't going to be shut down by a CEO who is worried about how it might affect their ability to sell ads. But, admins can get threatened, they can get overwhelmed, they can get hit by a bus. It's good to know how how to find other communities on other servers, etc.

[swampdownloader@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

For a while I was reading and posting on Lemmy, but still going over to check things out on Reddit (without an account) because Lemmy just wasn't getting enough traffic to keep interesting posts popping up. I'm having to do that less and less these days.

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

There's still a lot of old, useful and informative posts on Reddit that I find via a Google search. It annoys me that whenever I find one of those posts, I have to go and edit the URL to be old.reddit instead of www.reddit otherwise it's so hard to use. Like, the useful thing is in the comments, but the comments are collapsed by default, so if you search for something you won't find it until you expand those comments.

If they get rid of old.reddit I think I'm going to end up using the wayback machine to get that old post rather than trying to use that horrible new reddit interface.

[ultragigagigantic@lemmy.ml]

My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me

[clif@lemmy.world]

It's fine.

The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!
