Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.
So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.
Where are you going?
Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.
Is there a reason you’re trying to stir shit?
I agree, this thread is just deeply unnecessary
I just can’t understand why people wouldn’t just move on, it’s so easy on Lemmy
People want Reddit 2.0. There’s a lot of people who joined lemmy.world who are actively hostile to the idea of decentralization.
Those people should just go back to Reddit.
The amount of negativity in the threads linked to the piracy community block is very high for Lemmy standards.
I did not miss that.
Start your own instance. Then it’s the best™
Not with this soggy sock running it.
The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of “why you trying to start shit”
But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what’s the go?
The usual resource is to look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, filter by 1m, and then have a look at the top 20.
spez-like
That’s probably the biggest insult you can say ton any person on this platform
If the shoe fits though
Wow. People are salty that lemmy.world wants to stay legal? Interesting…
Is this because of the recent defederation from piracy instances?
This instance is a “open to everyone” instance.
I went with sh.itjust.works personally, mostly because I liked the name, it’s been good so far
Interesting point to say they are spez-like while they just want to comply with local regulations
This is new territory for most instance admin and a volunteer effort. If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to consider sharing constructive feedback with them as a first step instead.
As for finding new instances, it’s generally recommended to visit https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
The real answer is to have multiple accounts spread around on different servers just in case one server goes tits up or bans content you like to see. You should be treating accounts here as having a limited shelf life anyway for good internet hygiene purposes.
Also so you don’t lose your subscribed list. Though it’s a huge pain here to set that up.
Is there an efficient way to transfer lists between accounts?
I’ve seen a script or something being shared to do it but haven’t used it myself as of yet.
Lemm.ee has been working well for me, but I haven’t been paying too much attention to the admins. I mostly left lemmy.world because of the downtime
Yep, lemm.ee was my alt for when lemmy.world was down. Decided to go ahead and just make it my main account.
I’ve chosen lemm.ee from the beginning. I like it so far.
Me too. Its better. No downtime, no arbritary defeds.
My own 💅
me on my way to join your instance
You are more than welcome to! We have so… much… books.
I think it depends what you are looking for but I think a solid rule of thumb is to look at what communities you interact with the most and see what instances they belong to.
If piracy is specifically what you are after I’d go for dbzer0. If it’s NSFW content that kind of complicates things.
I decided to give leminal.space a try and I like it. The admins are nice and quick to deal with issues and make posts about changes in the instance.
lemmy.fmhy.net has both piracy and NSFW
Edit: hmm their instance seems to be down, this is their new domain and the main site (fmhy.net) is working, hmm… 🤔
I was already considering switching over to kbin fully just because they’re set up to interact with both Lemmy instances and Mastodon. Unfortunately the Mastodon side still feels a bit janky, but I’m hoping that’ll change as time goes on.
Definitely not going to stay with an instance that pre-emptively bends over for corporate interests. That’s one of the biggest reasons why I’m shifting away from Reddit in the first place.

Which one are you thinking about? No instance has corporate interests AFAIK
No instance has corporate interests AFAIK
if you want to go “well technically…” there are some mastodon instances that are VC funded (mainly in japan, though i think there’s like 1 or 2 in english), a few explicitly hosted by companies like vivaldi (the browser people) and medium, and misskey the software has built in support for running ads (though no western instance does that to the best of my knowledge)
none of them are lemmy, but they can all talk to each other
lemmy.dbzer0.com, this was founded by key people at r/piracy.
Top Moderator of r/piracy, to be specific. The person is also a left-wing anarchist so if you support authoritarianism or far-right politics, it’s not an instance for you.
Not “new” for me but I’ve been happy with lemmy.zip so far. Otherwise I’d be looking at https://sh.itjust.works or just work my way down the list at https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active
