And in addition, you can install an extension such as Libredirect that’ll automatically redirect Reddit links to mirror sites.
Wow my occasional research dives are guilt free now? Epic
Thanks a bunch, I was going to do this on the pi-hole side lol
You’re welcome, happy if I could save you some time 😊
Won’t the mirror sites will cease to function once the Reddit API changes take effect?
Well, the project will be impacted for sure; latest news was that the devs were thinking about adding an option for instance operators to add their own API key…
Great stuff, didn’t know that it aexisted thanks for sharing
Will this get broken with the API changes on July 1st?
There’s chances, yes… But the devs of Libreddit are trying to implement workarounds, like giving instance’s operators an option to add their own API key.
Thanks for the tip.
thanks for making people aware of this. i’d already deleted my reddit account in 2021 or so; libreddit was my only interaction with reddit for more than a year even before I came to lemmy, so I don’t know if i’m even considered a “reddit refugee”, ha.
it always surprises me how few people know about libreddit and teddit (its old reddit looking counterpart) even in places such as hwre
libreddit was my only interaction with reddit for more than a year even before I came to lemmy, so I don’t know if i’m even considered a “reddit refugee”, ha.
I think you’re an expat.
Oh that is cool. I’ll have to use as from now on, shame can’t login to your account so you can have all your sub at
EDIT: you can choose which subreddits to follow. Will be good to get off the addiction.
It’s really weird to see a subreddit devoted to piracy full of people who really, really don’t like the idea of sticking it to this company.
Don’t expect all pirates to be ‘against the man’, some are just lazy gits who don’t wanna spend money (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and don’t give much of a damn otherwise about ‘the other shit’.
I’m 100% on board with the protest, and I’m 100% on board with /r/piracy just dying if for no other reason than just because Reddit is the worst fucking place to deal with piracy, especially with the times they threatened to nuke the sub in the past, double-especially with that time the mods had to wipe out pretty much the entire history of the subreddit in order to prevent it from being shut down.
In short, the ones left in r/piracy in reddit now are the leechers and freeloaders.
the thing is that db0 (the previous top mod) should have made it clear that each post contained a bot autobot that told us to go to lemmy the main forum and that r/piracy is temporary… This would probably make that subreddit close as soon as possible, which would be our first choice in the first place.
But neither db0, nor other mods are ready to leave that subreddit, they want r/piracy to continue. So that’s why they are not linking to this site.
And I don’t care honestly, I will as many of you also will do probably, will focus on my own needs, and if r/piracy isn’t according to my needs I will leave. I mainly use it to get news about the piracy world to be honest.
What did you expect from pirates?
I can’t read comments over there anymore, they’ve become some of the biggest bootlickers on the site. Moving to Lemmy was a very effective way to filter out all the dipshits.
Fucking same. I hope someone recognizes their scab usernames and kicks them out of private pirate communities because such people are legit a massive opsec hole. But who am i kidding there noobs are probably just leeching off pirate bay only
While I was not the intended target, that got kinda personal toward the end :P
They were happy to come in and get everything for free from us, now that they are inconvenienced by a decade of content production/moderation being screwed over, they don’t care at all.
yeah… since the reddit clown debucle place turned into bootlicker central
I joked at first, but I think there’s some serious brain drain going on.
It’s nuts, the drop in quality since even two weeks ago(let alone 2 years ago) is actually insane. I always thought 90-9-1 was a bit of copium by users wanting to feel more important than they were, but even the relatively small protests/migration has torpedoed the atmosphere generally.
It made me realize that the general quality of reddit had gone severely downhill, but more slowly and imperceptibly. This recent migration just really highlights that. Now looking at what’s left it’s really reminding me of what I used to like about it and how little of that is left. The slow and steady growth of lemmy is really exciting to see because it’s a good portion of the folks who were interested in the community/content aspect of reddit.
I am really disappointed in the current Reddit r/Piracy community. Reddit is horrendous, but seems like that community is extremely ignorant about the actual condition. They don’t deserve any of the good things.
they’re the folks who hit n run anyway. I guarantee not one of those bootlickers is seeding
genuine question: is it fine to seed to only 0.5 ratio if I live in a developing country with limited internet, or should I still seed to 1 ratio?
If you can then yes, otherwise just seed to your heart content. Most people aren’t even seed. Or better, don’t seed already well-seeded torrents, seed torrent with few seeders
If you’ve seen the questions they ask, and the answers people give.
Nowadays they’re asking the very same question (which is “why the fuck are those morons still protesting against Reddit? They’ve done nothing wrong!”) - without searching - every while and then. And it actually violates the latest rule of “only sexy pirate John Oliver artwork may be posted”. ;)
I feel like 90% of the questions on there anyway are just pointless if people actually read the megathread
“What is a good site for movies”, “how do I torrent”, “should I use a VPN” “help I’ve got a virus”
All questions that get repeated daily
This could be a blessing in disguise, I’d much rather be with more savvy people.
True, but piracy needs normies and new recruits to survive. The heyday of piracy was back when everyone and their mom was using limewire and the pirate bay.

I mean r/piracy is running on borrowed time, might as well use its last moments as a redirect.
Ha, 404 suggesting a 301.
Huh, I thought I changed the display name. So the federation is still broken…
r/piracy is probably on borrowed time. Might as well return it to normal and wait for it to inevitably be banned. By then, Lemmy should hopefully be more polished.
Yarrr. Even pirates have principles.
I don’t care because I don’t even use reddit

To be very blunt, it’s best to leave Reddit. Within a year or two, discussing piracy itself would be banned there.
Censorship will only get worse on Reddit. No reason to stay there.

At this point I no longer care. I yet haven’t uninstalled Apollo and Boost out of respect for the developers but haven’t used them in 3 weeks. Come the 30th I will uninstall them and that is it. I will continue tu use Reddit as a search clutch while it works but will only get my fix of news either here or via rss feed as I used to do prior to Reddit.
The comments are spicy, the mods are hated there.
It’s because the people who agree with us have already moved here.
Exactly. I was active in the sub for a few days after the move, inviting them to Lemmy, but found it exhausting. Though it did help those confused it seems.
I’m happy here; things will only get better when Sync for Lemmy and Memmy fully release.
Yeah man Memmy has been really good. Seems like a perfect Apollo replacement.
I don‘t even think it‘s worth it for me to go and vote, just gives spez a click he doesn‘t deserve. Maybe best for me to leave it up to those who still give a shit about Reddit to decide what they want to do with their platform. As long as this instance is up, I‘m good! Ty db0!
I would say let the people who want to stay on reddit have it. This protest was the best thing that could have happened to /r/piracy, because now there is this place with 17k subscribers. I know there was another backup before this, but I don’t think it was this popular. And if reddit will go public there is a good chance that that subreddit will be banned or quarantined and at that point it would have been hard to spread information about something like this place.
