Is r/piracy the main sub or is this one?
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 :)
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.
Absolutely agree , the piracy should get mirrored at multiple instances
As is tradition.
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.
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?
You’re in the right place. Welcome!
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.
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.
How can there be a “main sub” for a concept like piracy? Just seize a ship and raise the jolly roger.
Sure. There’s also @freemediaheckyeah
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 @piracy@lemmy.ml
So far this seems to be the most active
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.
