Sorry for having no detailed steps to reproduce, but here is a possible situatuon it could happen in.

I have two accounts, on vlemmy.net and lemmy.world. The first one has some subscription and the second one is new without any. Probably that's why it's "null" here?

Thank you for contributing to what will become "best practices" for any new instance when the surge of new users from Reddit (as well as spambots) subsides and the situation becomes less chaotic. I hope other instances which blocked yours over the spambots reconsider their decision.

she is also very expressive for a mute person who can only say HI LEA BYE through a makeshift synthesizer

Well, this answer is basically what I was looking for. So piracy is frowned upon in general public and shouldn't be discussed outside people "in the loop", but some mild elements like account sharing are acceptable. Thanks.

I've moved from Russia, where torrents are pretty popular and only recently were mitigated by Steam, to a Nordic country. I don't intend on breaking the law, because my residence is temporary and I have funds to buy games, but I wonder if any of these things found in Russia or other Eastern European countries are accepted by people in the Nordics:

  • Local torrent trackers and torrenting in general
  • "Unofficial" streaming services
  • Fan translations
  • Renting and exchanging games
  • Account sharing
  • Selling and installing hardware hacks (e.g. Nintendo Switch homebrew chips)

...so I don't meet confused glances when I mention these Russian "customs" when chatting with locals. Mentioning specific services is not required, of course, I'm just trying to read the atmosphere.
