Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.
Also r/piracy stayed shut for a while with a direct and easy link to this community. That’s how I found it.
Plus the downfall of the lemmy.fmhy.ml server, which had a pretty big and active piracy community too.
What happened to them?
govt of mali let use freenom .ml domains, then freenom removed them for reasons, one of reasons being that it got traction. (?) they have moved since to fmhy.net
Oh yes, I have heard a lot of cases like this related to freenom. They deactivate domains that get traction and resell them at a premium (mostly to spammy ad networks that hoard domains).
Keep in mind that Lemmy.world communities are not listed due to crawling issues.
Why is there no lemmy.world community at all? I’m pretty sure it has a lot of big communities
Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.
That is the reason why I self host my own private instance.
Just out of curiosity
I have my own instance (gadgetro.id), but it isn’t set to private. Are you still able to browse other accounts on the fediverse from your instance when set to private?
I don’t even know if it’s set to private. If you mean browsing accounts from subscribed communities then yes.
What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.
The lxc container in Proxmox is at around 500 MB of ram usage, 1.35 GB of network traffic, and less than 1% CPU usage. Although I’m the only one using the instance.
Thanks, appreciated.
Edit
I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc
Yeah that is the total amount of network data used since I set it up yesterday.
