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

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?

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).

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.

And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol

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.

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!

Besides smaller complaints (every instance has their issues). .world has gotten too large. Many people have suggested that it close its doors for now so other instances can catch up.

Honestly I never have to do it unless I'm extraordinarily bored and have nothing better to do.

We are called Lemmings over here!

Agreed. New Reddit is terrible. I find having to flip to different pages to get to deeper replies particularly annoying.

I just read another comment (not sure if in this thread or another) saying that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml links are banned on Reddit. No idea if it's really true or not though.

Sorry to hear
