I‘m glad to have you too, the Reddit behaviour was making me nauseous and I was worried I couldn‘t find a good community to replace it. Then I discovered this instance and explored Lemmy a bit further, made some more accounts elsewhere and jumped around and it’s NICE! So excited to be here.
If you find juggling multiple accounts to be a bit of a hassle, my recent chapter about subscriptions might be of interest. In short though: you can use one account to access all of Lemmy, but there's a few specific steps you need to follow to subscribe to other communities on external servers.
Thank you, that is indeed helpful, didn‘t know about the search either. Still all so hard to deal with cause as soon as I tried to upvote that post I had to login again and that is pretty much how I ended up with what is by now 5 accounts.
I directly linked you to my instance. You'd have to follow the instructions there to search for and get to my community, NCL Meta, to actually upvote from your main account. It becomes less of a hassle the more you do it.
Out of the accounts you choose to be your main, don't use Beehaw.org - they've unconnected from the rest of the instances
Good info, I'm also brand new here and looking for an instance in my region. I signed up for beehaw.org, but I'll just ignore it if they actually give me one. I have a signup in for lemmy.one, they're okay, yeah? Weird how they both made me fill in some questions and wait for a reply.
A good crew will always find a port!
Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore"
was worried i would never see you guys again ! <3
Glad to have you here!
This is a far better ship than our last one.
T'was a bad day when our old ship sank to Davy Jones' locker.
But it brought us together here, so welcome aboard. This ship should hopefully never sank.
What Odin said to Thor. Asgard is not a place, never was, never will be. It is the people.
I'd known about the fediverse for a while but the final push I needed to move was the reddit API stuff. Now apparently something's happened to the old vessel as well, so I'm doubly glad to be here.
If I can ask, what exactly happened? Did reddit finally take it down or maybe infiltrate it with its own mods, as I've heard they might be doing?
To be fair, even if reddit does nothing to r/piracy, we're still better off moving ship. Our reddit community is already dangling on the edge with serious threat of being banned anyway.
It's worth building this community here just to mitigate the risk
Oh, I fully agree. I'm here not just for this community but for the whole fediverse shtick too. And if this move gets more pirates who came here only for this community into fediverse/privacy stuff in general, even better! I'm really hoping that will happen, but can't be too optimistic I guess :)
And you're right about the risk to the original sub. When you think about it, it's kind of amazing that /r/piracy has survived so long, since reddit isn't known to be very conservative in using the banhammer.
Sometimes the waves push us apart but we eventually find our way back matey! Arrrrrrr
AVAST
Welcome aboard matey! We missed ye!
What's the best rarbg replacement? I've been using magnetlinks
Torrent Galaxy has been the best for me so far https://rentry.co/megathread-all-purpose#torrentgalaxy
Thanks bud. It is the closest to rarbg. Appreciate it!
Likewise, I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't find the new place before the old one got nuked
Good t' have ye aboard matey
Damn though Reddit shit and all of their drama. We need a new place to discuss piracy anyway.
Oh man! Bless the 7 seas you're here!
I'm so glad, it wouldn't be the same without piracy
Hi, first post here. I noticed the newyuzupiracy subreddit was recently banned, does that have a community here?
Yes!
We really need a way to more easily access comms from other instances, or to sort comms by instance. I'd like to subscribe to most dbzer0 comms but finding them in the All list is a pain.
I don't know if this cat help you at all but here you got.
Thanks, but really I mean finding the comms in other instances from within my own instance, such that I can subscribe to them remotely. Finding the comms is easy, you can just go to the other instance (eg open up lemmy.dbzer0.com) but in order to subscribe from another instance you need to go into Communities, click All, then search for them one by one. The Communities list needs a way of filtering All by instance.
Also, it would be nice if all of this could be done from within Jerboa. Jerboa only seems to search comms you've already subscribed to. Right now subbing to comms is best done in a web browser.
I did a post with some communities local to this instance
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35987
I too didn't know what I was missing out on, since I was only initially subscribed to piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy so didn't know about all the other communities in this instance coming from https://lemmy.fmhy.ml.
Yeah you can find lists of instances all over, but to subscribe to them you have to go to the instance you're logged into, go into communities, click all and then cross reference the list and search for them one by one.
I just want to be able to browse other instances' comms from within my own instance, so I can subscribe to them directly. A simple option of filtering the all list by instance.
You don't have to search one by one, you can type the community name in the search box. Still clunkier than I'd like, but not too bad.
You can type the community names, one by one. However you have to know the name of the comment to do that.
What you can't do is type the instance name into the search or otherwise filter by instance, so that you can discover and add multiple comms from that instance in one go.
Excellent, thanks

Glad to have found this community back. Lemmy feels like home now!
I had the same reaction, it's good to find a new nook
