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

Unfathomably based.

[commander@lemmings.world]

Couldn't imagine a piracy community on reddit feeling good about its future.

Reddit will literally change its rules to get rid of communities it doesn't like. They did it with DarkNetMarkets.

[shotgun_crab@lemmy.world]

That was reverted more than a year ago

[farraigeplaisteach@lemmy.world]

Having at least one mega instance is really good, in my opinion. Whether we like it or not, many people struggle with the idea of the fediverse and how to function inside it. If they didn't have to think about it initially it would help them and the fediverse. BlueSky and the AT protocol should never have happened IMO. But people prefer them because the experience is "better".

[loudwaterenjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

But they don't want to? What next?

[index@sh.itjust.works]

It's not much work and it's a good investment it's also not as bad as you may think because there's plenty of enjoyment in learning and understanding stuff

[admin@lemmyusa.com]

Yes surprisingly. I haven't advertised at all yet, but we had 8 people join.

[cavok@lemmy.world]

Still can't see it, but maybe that's just me?

[jgrim@discuss.online]

I feel sad that more people don't get to see this comment.

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

nope, I just joined a month ago, and made other accoutns because of it, dbzero itself isnt blocked tho

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yeah I got reddit flashbacks when I joined and instantly made an account at 3 other instances lol, that post in particular with the downvotes they ignored was the main influence

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

not a big deal if you're a week or even a month in

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

no only those communities, you can still interact with dbzer0 users, just not the piracy communities

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

thats how normal social media already is, the algorithim keeps you in a bubble at least here we decide the bubble conciously, algorithims favor controversy and rollercoasters of emotion too

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Your homepage shows [email protected] and [email protected] as the most active communities, is it on purpose?

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

its a solid size, on reddit there are so many rules and it feels like screaming into a void when no one comments or views your post lol, it was only good for niche stuff, but lemmys cool because niche stuff hits the front page and everyone commenting tends to be helpful or at least they are not actively trying to be negative/unhelpful.

What also bugged me was some subs would delete your post if it was about like a new game so their mods could post it, everyone was so extra about karma that theyd delete ppls posts to post them themselves lol.

• https://sopuli.xyz/ for an EU instance that blocks hexbear and lemmygrad, like LW does
• https://discuss.online/ for an USA instance that does the same
• https://lemm.ee/ for an EU instance that doesn't block them
• https://lemmy.tody/ for a USA instance that doesn't block them either

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

leaving reddit led me to some forums that are still active for niche stuff like steakunderwater, lowendtalk, etc. I kind of got used to never leaving that app for anything, didn't realise how bad the shills were and I just assumed the advice was good like it was a decade ago.

The advice these days is not great, I don't think most people active there know what they're talking about and just answer to answer.

[3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

First time I made an account I fd up the verification question (didnt even look), took me months to make an account again because I was annoyed I couldnt have that username on that instance because I did It wrong.
