“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
Ohhh that’s a reason for the mainstream news agencies to make up sensational headlines and demonize the fediverse
That and they cannot control, own, or monetize it.
That’s kinda strange, not gonna lie. I was expecting a lot more subs in the meme communities etc.
I do find it interesting that when lemmy instances are mentioned, lemmy.dbzer0.com is mentioned as an afterthought, if at all :D
I reckon it’s probably a good thing we are flying under the radar in the media tbh. Media attention might draw other forms of unwanted attention. It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out over the next year or so though. Those meme communities have a lot of growth potential given their demographic.
Some people just don’t want to admit they pirate, but we know they do 😉
😇
🏴☠️ Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free. You are a pirate! 🏴☠️
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/iXbzktx1KfU

RIP Rottenbeard.
Keep in mind that Lemmy.world communities are not listed due to crawling issues.
Well that’s a huge caveat. I bet their communities would be bigger then.
Yes but actually not by much, [email protected] has 37.7k subscribers, which is their biggest community
Thanks. That’s good to know.
Idk, the piracy community is huge here. Of all communities I’ve looked at, it’s by far the most active.
What kind of crawling issues
Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal
Hell ya dbzer0 represent!! ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
As soon as reddit started looking into the money /r piracy’s days were numbered.
Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.
100% this, there isn’t even a shadow of doubt
Plus the downfall of the lemmy.fmhy.ml server, which had a pretty big and active piracy community too.
What happened to them?
govt of mali let use freenom .ml domains, then freenom removed them for reasons, one of reasons being that it got traction. (?) they have moved since to fmhy.net
Oh yes, I have heard a lot of cases like this related to freenom. They deactivate domains that get traction and resell them at a premium (mostly to spammy ad networks that hoard domains).
Also r/piracy stayed shut for a while with a direct and easy link to this community. That’s how I found it.
german instances are stable overall, so they can afford the high community user count
So dbzer0.com points to a German server?
I’m interested in how the workload is split up, the database is the weak link right?
Edit: dude, it’s a fast server, GG
dbzer0.com is german yea, so is discuss.tchncs.de and feddit.de: and they are reliable
This is the way
Reddit desperately wants its piracy community back, not knowing that the ship has sailed arr

Same thing that megalinks did when they got kicked off reddit
Hah they want the piracy community (to help “engagement” etc), until they don’t.
You’re 100% right and I’m sorry I didn’t continue my russian lessons :-/
Skolka stoich cofea?
:-)
Steam underground ftw
I don’t have to keep saying “that one underground russian forum” anymore
Piracy-friendly subreddits are not looked kindly by the advertisers that fund Reddit now. I think you’re right.
Is there any equivalent of lemmyverse for kbin magazines?
I’m subscribed to bother Lemmy communities and kbin magazines of the same name. I’m in kbin.social so I can’t tell you the exact magazine name - I search for the subject, say tech, and then subscribe to all of the groups.
Lemmyverse itself supports Kbin Magazines, just open the menu at the top right corner and hit the option.
OH thank you! That is even more awesome. I didn’t even think to look because of the name of the website has “lemmy” in it lol. This is exactly what I wanted :)
I guess Lemmy users probably also have high sympathies for digital piracy, opposing copyright is very wide spread within the open source community but there are a lot of factors at play here and I’m glad that’s the case because I only started to really use it on Lemmy! :)
I own this domain and don’t have anything better to use it for, so it’s a shorter link to the above mentioned community indexer.

Wtf man, what does it even do? I love you did it though!
Start a clothing fashion design dedicated instance immediately, it’s the law
Although good for the active community, I don’t feel like it’s a great advertisement of lemmy for the wider public
Eh I think it’s pretty neat. Means a majority of users are tired of or willing to subvert capitalism in some aspect and that gives me hope.
Piracy??? I thought this was a Pirates appreciation community!
Exactly! A celebration of sailing on the high seas!
I’m just here for the booty
