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.
Everything here is dead in comparison to Reddit. Reddit has huge numbers of users and enough users to have constant active participation in even very niche communities. Lemmy has very limited numbers of users. You certainly won’t find niches here. Even popular things like piracy or even games and movies don’t get anywhere near as much active participation. The population here is also very different (very tech adept, mostly politically left, mostly older/millennial). People might just not need to ask any piracy questions because they’ve got a good handle on it anyway. Lemmy is nothing like Reddit. You mostly can’t expect as much engagement with your posts. I don’t even bother with subscribing to communities because they have such little content that it’s pointless to browse anything other than “all”. On Lemmy you only get what you get…whether you consider that a good or bad thing is up to you.
Fixed that for you,
There are far more bots that you realize.
Fake upvotes and fake comments, to drive the few people still on there to keep providing content for free.
True in general, yet reddit would never allow speaking openly of pirated content like you can do on the fediverse. Way too many corporate dicks in the fire over there these days
there aren’t many ‘piracy meme’ shitposts but info wise it seems to be good enough. the community is quite friendly and questions are well answered too.
They downvoted him because he spoke the truth.
I downvoted them because reddit does indeed have huge userbase if you count bot as user.
