The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!
-
- https://sopuli.xyz/ for an EU instance that blocks hexbear and lemmygrad, like LW does
- https://discuss.online/ for an USA instance that does the same
- https://lemm.ee/ for an EU instance that doesn't block them
- https://lemmy.tody/ for a USA instance that doesn't block them either

its a solid size, on reddit there are so many rules and it feels like screaming into a void when no one comments or views your post lol, it was only good for niche stuff, but lemmys cool because niche stuff hits the front page and everyone commenting tends to be helpful or at least they are not actively trying to be negative/unhelpful.
What also bugged me was some subs would delete your post if it was about like a new game so their mods could post it, everyone was so extra about karma that theyd delete ppls posts to post them themselves lol.
leaving reddit led me to some forums that are still active for niche stuff like steakunderwater, lowendtalk, etc. I kind of got used to never leaving that app for anything, didn't realise how bad the shills were and I just assumed the advice was good like it was a decade ago.
The advice these days is not great, I don't think most people active there know what they're talking about and just answer to answer.

The typical ratio is 1:9:90, meaning only 10% are actively posting or commenting. The Lemmy numbers fit to that surprisingly well, although you would think a few more lurkers would at least vote sometimes (which Lemmy reports as active in the monthly stats).
First time I made an account I fd up the verification question (didnt even look), took me months to make an account again because I was annoyed I couldnt have that username on that instance because I did It wrong.

some sort of retry option for the verifcation question might be helpful

Voyager defaults to lemm.ee now

Posted on the wrong account here, mlem letting you swap during comment is clutch if anyone is looking for an ios app

I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
I picked sparrow from vfxmed I think, goat
-
They cant ban them all more will always pop up, fediverse Is like hydra
-
All of the biggest instances could take turns running ads for themselves lol
If they have extra money spend some on ads? Prob better to improve seo somehow
-
I was doing that for the first two weeks here and now I dont open it most days
-
beauty of lemmy is they only banned the community so at least ppl can tell you where to go and how to access it
-
Its actually a lot if they actively post and comment, or even if they actively upvote, we dont get that many upvotes in general for the top posts, even 100 would be a huge boost

I didn’t know that. That’s really good.

I'm sorry but it's just not enough. There are still way too many people on reddit.
We need that number to be in the millions, so that niche communities form and I can finally stop going to reddit for that content. I want to be done with that website sooo badly.

I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)
Threadiverse does sound to me too much like Threads... but that's dead anyway so meh, whatever, Threadiverse it is then! (Especially since iirc our usage of it predated that of Threads anyway)
And Fedizen makes me feel so... responsible?
Now have a beer:

Your homepage shows [email protected] and [email protected] as the most active communities, is it on purpose?
All 3 communities are ran by UniversalMonk. Others are welcome to create ones as well.
