Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.
Edit: wait, I didn’t realized it’s @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com himself that made this post. Man, I don’t know how you’re able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!
Well I’m not really on reddit anymore, so that helps 😁
How were redditors treating them? Just being obnoxious and refusing to change?
My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It’s not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.
Yes, the admins removed me without warning then re-arranged the mod team
Congrats mate 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for everything you do with your instance and with fediseer.
I for one didn’t know about Lemmy until the redit piracy community moved here.
I think I might be one of the very few reddit admins who took the move to lemmy seriously and that’s why we managed to succeed so well.
Yup. I remember how hectic that sub was during the exodus lol
A pirate is always free.
