Welcome !
Hey, Welcome :-)
Congrats to all lemming pirates !
I tried to join dbzer0 and got rejected without any reason—did I pick the wrong pirate (I liked Rackham on Black Sails)
The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.
Thanks, will do
I migrated from reddit today. Thanks to r/piracy post. So far it's amazing. I am using the Eternity app for Android which is the same as the Infinity app for reddit so UI is similar
Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.
I know it's kinda confusing.
I'm glad you're adapting. Welcome !
Welcome!
Im new to Lemmy too. Happy to be here. :)
Happy to read you :)
As one of those newbies?
Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.
If you've got a question about any of the Lemmy culture don't hesitate to ask. We will gladly answer (^_^)
September beeth eternal
For the past thirty two years, and counting.
I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.
What the fuck did I just read?
Am I having a stroke?
Eternal September: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September September was traditionally the time of new admissions in US collages and universitie. As a result of these institutes often being the first time many would gain access to Usenet September had areputation of clueless newbies flailing around until they either self selected out or adapted. In 1993 AOL gave their userbase Usenet access. Thus the term 'Eternal September' or 'The September that never Ends.'
Luser: Portmantu of Loser and User. Used Derisively in some online communities in the 90's to refer to new, and often clueless, users.
Relevant history. If you were there, you remember the call of the wild AOL'er, "Me too," ringing 'cross the network, usually as a top-posted comment.
Kids these days not knowing the history they're repeating... SMH.

Good, the Piracy community over on dbzer0 is much better than the subreddit anyways.
2025 the year of lemmy
the year of the ~~snake~~ lemming
On a more serious note: I wonder if the year of Lemmy will never come. Constant de-federation and churn might splinter it again, much like distros did kinda splinter the Linux desktop.
There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.
We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.

But are they seeders of leechers?
