I mean you guys and gals can heavily watch it. But I asked a question a while back how come dish does not have a playlist feature. If someone called up dish or invented a way is that piracy? Or the latest hacking news between the black white and gray hats? There will be not a person be able to say hay download here or there. Or if you would allow us to just not do exploits but link an article that says how you can get more space on the cloud and google hasn;t spotted it or some such. I can explain further.

If this instance isn't friendly to the community you want, why don't you just start that community on another instance? This is exactly what federation is for.

Well I like this instance and pretty much become friends with alot of people. But just think we could do a bit better than reddits r/piracy and if the ADMINS don't think it going well enough or I am enabling illegal stuff or come even close to that they will at least give me a week. After a week if they don;t like it ill shut it down. And I will also make sure all illegal stuff get bonked. Last thing I do is want my favorite instance in trouble.

I would recommend moving off of lemmy world in general.

IIRC, the LW piracy community just moved over to db0 where they are allowed to exist.

There's nothing preventing you from remaining friends with the same people while you're on a different instance. Federation takes care of that.

ok ill bite db0?

dbzer0, the instance I'm on. You can sub to db0 comms from lemmy.world and participate in discussions there.

The instance. Divide By Zero.

There used to be a fmhy.ml lemmy server but not sure what happened to it.

Again, federation. You aren't leaving this instance just because you interact with another instance. You aren't leaving your friends behind. With federation, they already have access to your new community.

The idea of begging an instance admin to change their position is the antithesis of federation. Join or start a community on an instance where that community is welcomed, appreciated, and supported. If that isn't here, find another one. If you can't find one, go start your very own instance just to host your comm.

Lemmy != Reddit. Don't bring that Reddit mindset here.

You can export your followed communities in settings, then import them on another instance after you make an account.

As long as the instance you choose federates with lemmy.world you'll see exactly the same communities you do now.

Db0 tends to host piracy related communities,.

A decent pirate community already exists on lemmy at /c/piracy.

You can subscribe from most instances

I see lemmy.world does not allow it

There was brouhaha when they first blocked it (I think they originally defederated from db0) and the reason given was .world had received a takedown notice from a rights holder because of a thread where someone was actually sharing some sort of copyright material. They felt like they were attracting attention as one of the largest instances, even though they weren’t the source.

They lost their domain, and losing your domain on the fediverse is basically a death sentence.

None of that is true. They were never defederated, nor did they receive a takedown (that I know of). They simply blocked the community out of an abundance of caution because they felt an image with a URL to the TLD of a pirate site is too risky.

The piracy comm was always in dbzer0 from day 1

Actually, they lost their server, not their domain. They couldn't maintain the lemmy software ( I think the original admin lost interest or smt) and just gave up. They did open a failover comm for !freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.dbzer0.com but most of their active users didn't have an interest in participating in lemmy over discord and reddit.

Being somewhat new to Lemmy, what are some good instances to use besides? I'm still learning about them, but I've heard not so good things about .ml?

Ah, I guess I was misremembering.

I like sopuli.xyz, mander.xyz is pretty cool, in general I recommend browsing your federated/all feed and checking out the new instance names you see and notice the instance names of the communities and users you seem to vibe with or that talk about things you are interested in.

Make accounts in a couple different places, to a reasonable degree you aren't wasting anyones time if you want to try out a new instance but don't end up liking it!

If you want you can use the same name as your account name on lemmy world so that it is easy to remember and for other people to know you are the same user. If that is what you want of course, that is just a suggestion if it feels overwhelming.

And that's why I left .world

That's wild. I switched to piefed.world and was unaware

Did they delete the community? It doesn't seem to exist any more.

How do I make it part of my lemmy.world account??

Your sister hates anything that is not on lemmy.world.

But if you click !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and subscribe you will be able to see the content there.

that just shoots back an error

Then I would suggest opening your own account not on lemmy.world.

Seems so. It was abandoned for a really long time so either they remembered to remove it or it got automatically purged assuming the instance has something like that.

I’m misremembering, then; I trust your version over mine!
