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

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I will make an account on a different instance. Which one do you recommend?
-
If you need ones that don't have a high self discharge then yes. The black ones (pro) have a higher capacity but will self discharge in a few months.

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.

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.

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.
Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.
But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.
-
On PieFed it looks like a still loading icon. At first I thought my account wasn't "finished" or something!:-P
-
Yeah but if I did do that, then somehow "I'm" the weird one... smh over here...

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 on new instance. It transfers subscribed communities and block lists, so if none yet then no need to bother.
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.

As far as I recall it's about blatantly "white" tweets, to underly how clueless and detached from reality they are.
But it may have warped into the stratosphere as of these days...
Oooooooooh, you mean like in 2001 when I was dating my first ever black girl. I was talking about how you never have breakfast foods for dinner. And she asked if I wanted chicken and waffles. I had never heard of such a dish together. I thought she was asking for two different meals, and it was weird to phrase it like that. After some back and forth, she assured me you take fried chicken, serve it WITH waffles, and cover the whole thing in maple syrup. I thought she was pranking me. So I went over, and googled it. I was suuuuure she was messing with me. Nope. It's a real thing people in the south do. I'm from Ohio. So was she, but she has family in Atlanta. I was just......why? Just why would anyone mix those foods? Still to this day I don't want it.
Then, after it had been well established that chicken and waffles was a thing, she asked "Have you ever heard of chitlins?"
I had not. Ignorance is bliss.

Thank you for keeping Lemmy lore alive, you're doing god's work.

Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!

How do I add your piracy community to my boost app?

Welcome aboard!

You won't be able to from a lemmy.world account like that.

unfortunatly .world banned piracy quite awhile ago, you'll need a different instance account

and the linux desktop
I've been dual-booting for about 2 weeks now, and I've been spending so much time in Fedora Silverblue because it's just so nice. I mean, most of the shit I do is browser stuff, so I have no issues there. Most of the time I can get apps to work, but my only gripe is not being able to use NextDNS alongside Proton VPN like I did on my windows computer
. I just don't know how to get it to work, and idk how to revert my DNS settings in terminal back to default instead of NextDNS.But like everything else is fine, and I can still do my schoolwork.
-
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?
-
Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it's a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it's overwhelming to jump right away into "this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one"
I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world
Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).
