All the piracy subs I can find are dead, quiet, or too niche. I’d love to be part of an effort to bring reliable and maintained information about how to safely pirate to lemmy. It’s actually one of the most frustrating things about switching from reddit. Are we puritanical here or something? If we had active piracy scenes I pretty much wouldn’t have to be on reddit at all anymore.


Lemmy.world has the problem of being large and successful. As a result they block a lot of instances and topics before they become a potential problem. They want to avoid litigation, and since they’re one of the largest instances they believe that they are a prime target should a crackdown on the fediverse happen.
lemmy should really show it when a comm is banned and let users know they can just switch instance instead of telling there’s nothing…
This would be a nice UX feature. Something like “This community has been banned/blocked from [INSTANCE] for [REASON].”
