Is r/piracy the main sub or is this one?
You’re in the right place. Welcome!
the entire instance is yeah
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).
@LostCause gee. it’s almost as if being a spaz has consequences.
@LostCause their is it’s called reddit, or tilde or squable. though untill such time as fedverse does something like WoW’s phasing and how it had cross server chat. it’ll be making 9999 clones and accounts because that makes sense.
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.
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.
Welcome to the piracy community. I run the community /m/piratedgames if you’re interested, you can come check it out
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.
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.
A lot of work will have to go in to making sure there isn’t something that can be abused etc, but if instances could make their own badge-awards kind of like Discord server & Twitch Channel emoji that would work.
I think it’d make sense to only start out with a crypto like Litecoin or Nano which can be automated, unfortunately crypto has a negative reputation atm.
I would love to be able to support instances this way.
Just donate to the instance. You don’t need sparkly gold or whatever on comments, that was always a farce.
