I'm already loving the quality of posts and discussions I'm seeing here. There's a reason why we're consistently in the Top 10 of all lemmy communities!

With all the reddit 3rd party apps shutting down today (RiP Sync) I expect to see a big influx of users. And our new user application inbox is overflowing as well. I hope y'all will put the new blood through the steps!

Keep up the great content mates!

Is it weird to have subscribed even though I don't pirate (yet)? The community seems good, and I might take the plunge eventually.

Right? I joined by accident because I misread the community name as "c/privacy." 😂 Instead of leaving, I've gotten a lot of great information and opinions I didn't know I wanted on privacy, security, and open source projects for people who just want to lock their shit down without needing to. It's just a great information resource all around and I super appreciate everyone's input.

You're in the right place to learn, you'll have your sea legs one of these days.

So this is the official r/piracy community?

Switched over today. Finding it surprisingly useable so far. I'm using Memmy for iOS, the best app i've found so far and it feels like a slightly jankier Apollo (to be expected since it's v0.0.2) but still very much useable.

I think I'm done with reddit for good.

Try out wefwef.app too!

Tried it out. Nicest looking UI so far but it's very slow. Long loading screens for no reason. Probably because it's a PWA.

Lemmy.world is rate limited atm if you were trying there. It's been pretty snappy for me. Maybe it's from. The exodus today too.

I think I'm gonna keep all of them installed and rotate over the coming months. This is so exciting. It feels like we're the first on a new planet.

I've been doing the same. Likely will continue until Sync is released.

Also big shoutout from me: There is an incredibly little amount of "report-worthy" posts here. Everyone is really civil and engages in conversations really nice!

Thank you all for that aswell! 😀 👍

Yarr, a great instance she be! Strong and true through dark waters.

Great work here matey! Didn't even slow down with the influx today.

Oh man. I woke up to a notification from sync saying it was all over. Not the best news. Pretty cool to see a worthy replacement though and I'm looking forward to Lemmy sync!

Good to see this community grow, I wish that website had a fuller list of communities.

I'm generally happy with my migration to Lemmy, it's true that some communities that I was following on Reddit are missing, but little by little alternatives are appearing and that's cool.

It still bothers me a bit how instances can block other instances making the user have to create another account on another instance to see and interact with some communities (lemmy.world has blocked lemmit.online for example, which is an instance whose bot republished Reddit content on the respective community and sometimes there are interesting posts that aren't on Lemmy, a solution would be to simply block that instance from showing posts in "All" and "Local" but allow people to still subscribe to them and see them in their own feed), but I'm glad they usually do it with toxic instances and it's not the norm.

And in general lemmings are less toxic (for now...).

Oh, and thanks to people like you, who had the balls to migrate, things are easier here thanks to all of you.

I see you guys posting instructions on how to do things. Much appreciated.
