For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.

The best instance on lemmy grows ever stronger ✊️
Congrats to all lemming pirates !
...the fingers :o
Yeah... Lemmings are not perfect and ok with other people disabilities (^_-)
Hi, glad I joined!
Welcome!
Welcome !
Hey, Welcome :-)
I migrated from reddit today. Thanks to r/piracy post. So far it's amazing. I am using the Eternity app for Android which is the same as the Infinity app for reddit so UI is similar
Yeah I migrated when they did the API thing. It's quieter here, but I kinda prefer it. Welcome mate
Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.
I know it's kinda confusing.
This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?
No, we're all on lemmy.world and we're here, not fully defederated. You can get to most communities on dbzer0, it's just that specific /c/piracy community that is blocked on world.
Thank you for the clarification!
Welcome!
I'm glad you're adapting. Welcome !
I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
Thanks, will do
As one of those newbies?
Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.
I've noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we're still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it'll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.
I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.
If you've got a question about any of the Lemmy culture don't hesitate to ask. We will gladly answer (^_^)
September beeth eternal
For the past thirty two years, and counting.
I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.

Happy to read you :)
Welcome!
Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.
