There’s too much controversy around the official lemmy instance lemmy.ml due to their politics. However I really like the distributed nature of lemmy as opposed to the monolithic and hierarchical nature of raddle.
So I guess, I have to do this myself. This is now the official fallback forum for /r/piracy, away from toxic politics but still vehemently anti-copyrights.
For now I’m allowing the posting of magnet links, but don’t link files directly as I don’t want the eye of Sauron on me.
You can use this instance to browse the previous piracy community too and post with your account from here! They’re unrestricted, so feel free to post links there ;)
This is not a bad idea. This is how the Fediverse is supposed to work.
We welcome all sailors as we proudly construct this new ship together in our vast maritime endeavors.
Welcome mate. You’re a mod now
Can I join if I’m on Beehaw? I guess I was able to post this comment, so apparently so. Pretty cool. I like the Fediverse.
My understanding is that
Beehaw does not “Federate” with Lemmy.mlsome instances (presumably for ideological reasons), so I don’t think Beehaw accounts could post to that version of Piracy, but they can post to this one.But I’m a Lemmy newbie, still, so maybe I’m wrong/missing something.
Beehaw actually federates with lemmy.ml, but blocks federation with lemmygrad.
In fact I believe that is the only instance that is blocked on Beehaw.Edit: just checked and beehaw blocks a number of instances:
You should pin a post at the top of the other community that leads here and vice versa.
