Started out on the fmhy.ml just prior to the .ml debacle. On lemmy.world now, but they have just started banning piracy communities. The new fmhy instance, of course, has already died before I got to try it.
sigh Married pasty male looking for lemmy instance that:
- Has some decent uptime / Reliable / Not on a fly by night top level domain
- Hates Nazi’s and doesn’t hesitate to ban, block and defederate such crap
- Tolerant of piracy communities and federations
- Oh, and will let me see comments in the Technology community. That isn’t working for me here.
Suggestions welcome.
dbzer0 has the largest piracy community and should meet all your needs
Is there fediverse reciprocity? I mean, can users on those instances subscribe to sublemmits on this instance, or is that blocked, too?
sublemmits
oh please don’t
Lemmy.world hasn’t defederated dbzer0. Lemmy.world just doesn’t want to host pirate communities.
So, you can login to lemmy.world, then search, subscribe and interact with pirate dbzer0 communities.
This is not entirely correct. lemmy.world hasn’t defederated from dbzer0, but it has blocked it’s largest piracy community.
I tried it, I cannot access it https://photon.lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Will dbzer0 posts show up in the Subscribed feed if it’s not hosted on lemmy.world? Will it get sorted by Hot?
Why can’t lemmy.world simply redirect users to dbzer0? Why are the communities effectively shadow banned? If the main concern is lemmy.world not wanting to actually host them, rather than hiding them and trying to pretend they don’t exist, why can’t there just be some sort of placeholder that informs users that they cannot access this community on lemmy.world and they need to go-
-ya know what? I got halfway through writing that and got tired of it. This is exhausting, and I’ve been here for 2 months.
Lemmy needs an app or a UI that unites all this in a simple fashion so users don’t have to go through all this every time an admin decides to get picky with what they’re willing to host. All this shit need to be behind the curtain. Users should just be able to use any instance and see anything on Lemmy they want to see, whether the admins host it on their server or not.
maybe this is the simplest answer to your question…
here is your comment as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1959063
here is this lemmy.world community as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fediverse@lemmy.world
so everything is still working in that direction
seems like lemmy.world only blocked communities though, I think if you fully block an instance then you won’t send or receive anything with it?
for comparison I used https://radiation.party/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev and it doesn’t show anything new there because programming.dev has them blocked
dbzer0 is not blocked from lemmy.world - https://lemmy.world/instances.
So while you are technically correct that you can publicly see who is blocking who by looking at their instance list, your answer isn’t relevant to the question of blocked communities where there hasn’t been total instance-blocking.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to see an instance’s blocked communities except by reading/searching their modlog.
Ah sorry. You’re right, of course. I saw the word ‘fediverse’ and responded without really thinking.
I read that even subscribers on lemmy.world might not even notice that the community is blocked, so there’s not much hope for the rest of us.
Lemmy.world users no longer see it in all/community search results, and if trying to navigate to the Lemmy.world url for the community specifically (like this: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) they just get an error.
So the only way they would discover that communities are blocked is if they absolutely know the community actually exists by visiting the foreign instance.
The only other way I’ve discovered you can see what communities an instance has blocked is by parsing through the public modlog.
sh.itjust.works is great, cause it actually does just work.
So far they meet all your criteria (except for defederating extremists, we hold democratic votings about it unless its something against the laws where we are hosted)
Yeah, defederating **right wing ** extremists is important to me.
Exploding Heads is
federateddefederated by democratic vote.Isn’t that the site recently defederated from l.w. for having an illegal fetish style community? No thanks.
Defederated by democratic vote*
My autocorrect messed up.
Oh, that’s better. :)
Responsive admins on matrix and run on renewable energy too.
I’d love to make an account there, but the confirmation email is broken apparently. Can’t login.
Really? Odd, I can mention it in the matrix chat if you’re still interested @timou@jlai.lu
I’ve heard a lot of people report this, it’s definitely an issue.
Until it’s resolved you can dm @thedude@sh.itjust.works and he will manually confirm your acct.
@allyougottadois@lemmy.dbzer0.com
@timou@jlai.lu
I just went to inform admins and someone else had already just brought it up. I’ll keep you posted.
@thedude@sh.itjust.works
Same here, tried with 2 different mails. I guess that doesn’t always just work 😏
I’m not sure how well tagging users in comments works here so just in case I’m letting you know I contacted admins and they’re looking into it.
Fellow pirates come take a look at lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Hoist your colors high 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I mean, what better place to find safe harbor other than Port Royal itself?
If you’re defederated you can’t post elsewhere, which sucks. A dedicated piracy account makes sense though.
Host your own instance and you can control what you federate and defederate with.
Otherwise you’re probably not going to find an instance that fits all of your wants.
You’ll probably just want to join a piracy geared instance as your home instance if that’s important to you.
Problem is that selfhosting makes it significantly harder to be anonymous when everyone can see your IP with a trivial lookup. Or I guess you could rent a VPS instead of running it locally.
Some might say that’s a feature, not a bug. If you’re not willing to stand by your words, then who are you, really?
But fine, let’s talk:
There’s Cloudflare, for what they’re worth on privacy and anonymity.
There’s VPS, as you say, but they are responsive to subpoenas.
There are sketchy “data haven” counties whose sketchy economy you’re fueling with your rent. (* Cough * .ml * cough *)
Chose, but chose wisely.
Just because you choose a domain in a “data haven”, doesn’t mean that you’re necessary more or less private.
It does help with piracy for not getting a site shutdown but I think that’s the only reason.
Also you CAN run a small instance for free through Oracle cloud (as long as you enable swap if you’re using the amd instances) but your main limitations are going to be storage, as I use around a gig-ish per day with subscribing to a large percentage of the large communities (though there are things that are supposed to help with this like LPP, but I’ve never used it myself)
I have an alt on https://sh.itjust.works/ because I like that it’s powered by 99% renewable energy. I did attempt to sign up for Aussie.zone too but I think that’s still awaiting approval.
EDIT: Oh yeah and I do have an account on kbin.social as well
It’s almost never down. It’s great.
You(and everyone else) are welcome at endlesstalk.org.
I prioritize uptime and have setup monitoring to notify, if anything goes down(See here). I have no problem banning/defederating Nazi’s and the like, but I generally don’t take action unless, an instance/users aren’'t following the rules. I’m open for requests and discussion though.
Currently I’m the only admin, but I’m in the process of changing the setup of the site, so other admins would be able to fix the site, if anything should happen.
What country is it hosted in?
In Germany on a hetzner dedicated server.

Just joined lemm.ee
What’s their take on tankies?
They have defederated from neither lemmygrad.ml nor hexbear.net.

😅not sure if you’re joking but I can see the url is wrong… .ee on the end, not .me
Oops, shouldn’t try to think before bed 😂 Thank you.
lemmy.sdf.org I wouldn’t even have bothered signing up for Lemmy if I hadn’t seen them on the list of suggested instances.
deleted by creator
For some reason, lemmy.sdf.org has issue in federating with kbin.social communities. Taking one random community as an example:
-
Viewing from lemmy.sdf.org: 1 new post in last 24h.
-
Viewing from lemmy.zip: 6 new posts in last 24h.
-
I use SDF and I’m happy with it but his second point is that the instance should defederate/not tolerate Nazis, which SDF doesn’t fit the bill
Really? I haven’t seen anything I would consider Nazi content in my feed. Granted, I mostly only pay attention to my subscribed feed but I check out All daily and nothing has made me regret my choice. I don’t even know what their policy is. I assumed it was reasonable, not doors wide open.
I’d suggest lemmy.ca also.
Before I made my account here I was doing research to see if I was going to start my own instance or not. I had very similar requirements as yours but also some around security, patching, and long walks on the beach.
Honestly, the lemmy.ca admins (including Shadow) seem to know their stuff. They’re active on github, patch regularly, and actually care about the community. As an end user, everything I could ask for. <3

this might help you.
I remember there was another where you put your opinions (agree, don’t care, disagree) about those bullet points and it throws you a list of instances but I didn’t save it sorry.
It would be very useful if you found that again and posted it.
Thank you, everyone. Found my new home. What was odd was that this thread I created (Hi, I’m also HR_Pufnstuf) experienced the same problem with all threads in the Technology community… where I can’t see any of the comments except my own. Luckily I was able to find all your comments in my inbox. After visiting all your wonderfull suggestions, save for the kbin’s, I’ve chosen to settle here. I’ll keep the lemmy.world around as a backup.
Also, wanna say the default theme here is pretty slick
Again, thanks everyone. I appreciated the feedback!
PseudoSpock / HR_Pufnstuff
Edit: I had a typo in my sig of PseudoSpock I just fixed. That typo had made it offensive and I am VERY sorry!
I had the same problem with not being able to see comments, even in my own thread. I found that the issue was with the language I selected in my settings. I was told to select ‘Undetermined’ but I think this only let me see other undetermined posts and not those who have theirs set to English. So I clicked the big ‘X’ next to them in settings (deselecting any language) and now I see everyone’s comments. Hope that helps.
Aha! I, too, had suspected that setting, I just didn’t figure out the fix. Good on you!
I am on lemmy.zip and had no problems so far. I really don’t have anything more to say.
I registered on lemmy.zip. Sign up requires you to apply and freeform write something in a text box to prove you’re human. I put in a really bad dad joke, and my application was approved almost immediately.
I’m on lemmy.zip as well and have been happy. Gravitates towards tech, recently defederated a few extremist instances (by a vote), good uptime, and run by some seemingly cool people.
+1 for Lemmy.zip! Great folks here and an admin who cares a lot for the community.
It is pretty chill here.
lemmy.blahaj.zone if you’re fine with the queer friendliness
What is “queer friendliness”? Do you mean pro LGBTQ+ rights?
Do you mean pro LGBTQ+ rights?
You betcha!
I would point out that piracy is against our ToS, so we wouldn’t tolerate hosting piracy subs ourselves.
well lemmy.blahaj.zone is federated with lemmy dberz0.com
We aren’t defeferated from them. That’s different from hosting that content ourselves though.
I’m not personally against piracy, however hosting that kind of content here ourselves would put our primary reason for creating this space (that of providing a safe social space for trans and LGBTQIA+ people) at risk.
I just wanted to point that out before we get a whole bunch of piracy subs created on our instance that we’d have to remove.
Is that instance stable? I tried it and it was such a slog sometimes.
meh It’s fine for me
