I‘m glad to have you too, the Reddit behaviour was making me nauseous and I was worried I couldn‘t find a good community to replace it. Then I discovered this instance and explored Lemmy a bit further, made some more accounts elsewhere and jumped around and it’s NICE! So excited to be here.

If you find juggling multiple accounts to be a bit of a hassle, my recent chapter about subscriptions might be of interest. In short though: you can use one account to access all of Lemmy, but there's a few specific steps you need to follow to subscribe to other communities on external servers.

Thank you, that is indeed helpful, didn‘t know about the search either. Still all so hard to deal with cause as soon as I tried to upvote that post I had to login again and that is pretty much how I ended up with what is by now 5 accounts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Out of the accounts you choose to be your main, don't use Beehaw.org - they've unconnected from the rest of the instances

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I‘ve got one account on lemmy.ml and connect to beehaw through that but one of the first posts I saw there was a discussion on defederating from it cause the mods are tankies. It reminds me of Reddit already haha.

But yeah good advice, seems like choosing main instance is an important part of what experience one has in the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think the instance for people being tankies is the lemmygrad one. My instance, sh.itjust.works, has defederated from this as the only one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good info, I'm also brand new here and looking for an instance in my region. I signed up for beehaw.org, but I'll just ignore it if they actually give me one. I have a signup in for lemmy.one, they're okay, yeah? Weird how they both made me fill in some questions and wait for a reply.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I directly linked you to my instance. You'd have to follow the instructions there to search for and get to my community, NCL Meta, to actually upvote from your main account. It becomes less of a hassle the more you do it.

A good crew will always find a port!

Seventy-three men sailed up

From the San Francisco Bay

Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say

"We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

This is a far better ship than our last one.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

T'was a bad day when our old ship sank to Davy Jones' locker.

But it brought us together here, so welcome aboard. This ship should hopefully never sank.

What Odin said to Thor. Asgard is not a place, never was, never will be. It is the people.

I'd known about the fediverse for a while but the final push I needed to move was the reddit API stuff. Now apparently something's happened to the old vessel as well, so I'm doubly glad to be here.

If I can ask, what exactly happened? Did reddit finally take it down or maybe infiltrate it with its own mods, as I've heard they might be doing?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, even if reddit does nothing to r/piracy, we're still better off moving ship. Our reddit community is already dangling on the edge with serious threat of being banned anyway.

It's worth building this community here just to mitigate the risk

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, I fully agree. I'm here not just for this community but for the whole fediverse shtick too. And if this move gets more pirates who came here only for this community into fediverse/privacy stuff in general, even better! I'm really hoping that will happen, but can't be too optimistic I guess :)

And you're right about the risk to the original sub. When you think about it, it's kind of amazing that /r/piracy has survived so long, since reddit isn't known to be very conservative in using the banhammer.

Sometimes the waves push us apart but we eventually find our way back matey! Arrrrrrr

Welcome aboard matey! We missed ye!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the best rarbg replacement? I've been using magnetlinks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks bud. It is the closest to rarbg. Appreciate it!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Likewise, I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't find the new place before the old one got nuked

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Damn though Reddit shit and all of their drama. We need a new place to discuss piracy anyway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Good t' have ye aboard matey

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Oh man! Bless the 7 seas you're here!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm so glad, it wouldn't be the same without piracy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi, first post here. I noticed the newyuzupiracy subreddit was recently banned, does that have a community here?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Glad to have found this community back. Lemmy feels like home now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had the same reaction, it's good to find a new nook
