As the lemmy.ml admins expect a heavy load on their servers in the coming days, I’ve decided to run my own lemmy instance to be the dedicated forum for /r/piracy failover.

If you already have an account on lemmy.ml, you can continue using it by accessing the new community via https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

You can also continue posting on this community as well, not going to stop anyone :D

        I’m having tons of issues signing up to just about any instance. Lemmy is a good idea in theory but not in practicality. It’s been a pain in the ass and I’m a more technically inclined user/person. Can only imagine how it is to a laymen. I don’t think lemmy is ready for prime time. Gonna go and try raddle or hope something else pops up or back to the old forums.

    Anyone else having issues federating with that instance? It looks like it only wants to talk to lemmy.ml, I can’t seem to add it to my instance. I’ve added other instances just fine 🤔

      That’s strange. I had initially set lemmy.ml in the allowed lost when I was troubleshooting why federation wasn’t working but it’s long removed. If you have an idea where I should check I can take a look

    It’s nice to have backups but doesn’t this just fracture the already small lemmy piracy community even more? Maybe running it as a mirror without the possibility to engage would be better.

      This is my biggest complaint with Lemmy — I’m exhausted having to join the same communities over and over again. I wouldn’t doubt this could be a huge barrier to incoming refugees. Multi-Lemmy can’t come fast enough!

        I hear ya. For us more technically inclined folk, it’s an inconvenience. For more layman folk, it’s completely unapproachable.

      Yes, but lemmy.ml went down today, before the blackout, and way ahead of the API shutdown. It WILL go down again due to the load.

      This might fragment the community, but a dedicated instance by a r/Piracy mod is better than relying on one that could go down at any moment. Eventually, people will just use the new one and it won’t matter. I think this is a good call.

      This is part of the reason I made my own instance. It’s now my responsibility to keep my own account functioning, not someone else’s. Anyone’s server going down won’t prevent me from using Lemmy or making comments.
