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?

Welcome aboard!
When referring to communities on Lemmy please use the proper link format. !community@instance
How do I add your piracy community to my boost app?
unfortunatly .world banned piracy quite awhile ago, you'll need a different instance account
You won't be able to from a lemmy.world account like that.
For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html
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.
The best instance on lemmy grows ever stronger ✊️
Congrats to all lemming pirates !
...the fingers :o
Yeah... Lemmings are not perfect and ok with other people disabilities (^_-)
I migrated from reddit today. Thanks to r/piracy post. So far it's amazing. I am using the Eternity app for Android which is the same as the Infinity app for reddit so UI is similar
Yeah I migrated when they did the API thing. It's quieter here, but I kinda prefer it. Welcome mate
Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.
I know it's kinda confusing.
Oh, thanks for the heads up. I will make an account on a different instance. Which one do you recommend?
If you came to the fediverse for a community on dbzer0, easiest solution is to make an account on dbzer0. It's a good instance, if you like it, think about contributing to their patreon.
Thankyou. Signed up for dbzer0
This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?
Account Settings (not Profile), Import/Export Settings, Export to file then repeat with Import on new instance. It transfers subscribed communities and block lists, so if none yet then no need to bother. Edit: there is currently no way to transfer over your actual content (posts, comments, likes & dislikes) and DMs sent to your old account will not follow you over to the new. The only thing you can really do then is transfer your settings to help you start over more quickly in the new place.
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.
No, we're all on lemmy.world and we're here, not fully defederated. You can get to most communities on dbzer0, it's just that specific /c/piracy community that is blocked on world.
Thank you for the clarification!

As one of those newbies?
Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.
I've noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we're still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it'll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.
I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.
Lemmy has a long way to go before eternal September to be sure. It's once people don't know individual commenters across the entire platform we might get there, but as is the regular users are unlikely to get drowned out anytime soon.

I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
