Thinking long-term, it does make sense to have the main piracy sub on a separate instance, and grow it here instead of lemmy.ml, as the fediverse grows people might not be so accepting of easy access to piracy information on one of the "main" instances.

This isn't related, but I wanted to reward your comment and I realized that I haven't even seen rewards yet. Spending money and rewarding content seems even more important now.
Just donate to the instance. You don't need sparkly gold or whatever on comments, that was always a farce.
I think badges could be a decent modern feature that other modern websites have, and if it helps support instances too I think that would be a good side effect.
A lot of work will have to go in to making sure there isn't something that can be abused etc, but if instances could make their own badge-awards kind of like Discord server & Twitch Channel emoji that would work.
I think it'd make sense to only start out with a crypto like Litecoin or Nano which can be automated, unfortunately crypto has a negative reputation atm.
I would love to be able to support instances this way.
Absolutely agree , the piracy should get mirrored at multiple instances
As is tradition.
This is the way.
You're in the right place. Welcome!
Thankyou fellow sailor
How can there be a "main sub" for a concept like piracy? Just seize a ship and raise the jolly roger.
Honestly this community seems to generate even more useful content than r/piracy did for me. Already I’ve learned about 5 great replacements for rargbto, the beauties of torrent aggregator desktop clients, and awesome debrid streaming for iOS via WebDAV. Great stuff
And I haven't seen a single post that's just memes about why they pirate or how morally superior we are for doing so. It's a breath of fresh air.
Where can I learn more about those torrent aggregator desktop clients! Sound nice :)
Ye're at the correct ship ye scallywag
Personally I am subscribed to a few Piracy subs on different instances. I will contribute to them all as best I can.
Which other ones are there ?
https://kbin.social/m/piracy @[email protected]
So far this seems to be the most active
3 posts and 11 comments over 5 days.
I wouldn't exactly call that active.
I see at least 10 posts from today in this sub?
Ye iam in that one just without Kbin https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy
kinda annoying that Kbin links allways just link via Kbin instead the real thing.
There is a few different ones, one is on lemmy.ml which I am meh about, another one is from an ex-mod of r/piracy, see here for them posting about being removed:

Right now I think this is all a bit of a painful fragmentation, but I am hoping for some app/website/idk to release which can present these communities better together, cause I‘m half the time confused now where I am. I don’t know which one I‘m supposed to use or which will "win out" (when I wish actually all would be more as one, but as failsafes exist separately to take advantage of the fediverse).
A few days back I saw some discussion on implementing a "multireddit"-like feature to allow multiple communities on the same subject to be aggregated together in the end user's view, something like that would be a good solution IMO.
Seconding this, being able to group different instances together would be really cool
I think the former mod is now modding this:
ETA: It's not letting post the full magazine address. I am try now adding some underscores to the beginning and end, just delete them to copy.
Yeah what we need is mods of this one taking over c/piracy on other instances and linking here instead (but that might break some feediverse rules, I dunno)
I'd rather there be multiple communities that are independent of each other and give users a multireddit-like view that "merges" them together, at their option. That's especially useful for something like the subject of piracy, where some instances might face legal problems for having certain relevant content on them.
So you want multiple competing "subreddits" about the same topic? Yeah, that is not the way to go really.
Yes, I want that. You want a particular topic to be completely under the "control" of one set of admins or moderators, chosen... somehow, without the ability for someone to make a community with different rules and participants? That's really not the way to go.
Reddit already allowed for this anyway. There were innumerable "competing" subreddits over there.
We dont need micro transactions on Lemmy
the entire instance is yeah
Welcome to the piracy community. I run the community /m/piratedgames if you're interested, you can come check it out
This parttime land lubber thank ye scurvy hide
Yes matey welcome.
Fuck reddit.
Do we know if the gaming stuff on this instance and FMHY are the same as the ones on the gaming subreddit? Also, are they all safe still?
