If you are uninstalling, you can try the federated alternative: loops

I downloaded it. It’s very barren right now, no more than a few comments per post, if any. Hopefully it gains some traction

It was like that here when Reddit fell caused people to leave and look for something better. Give it time, and interact!

It’s still kinda like that here.

I think its mostly because of lurkers, but also, I first joined on midwest.social then something broke the feed and caused a bunch of federation issues. Now this is my “alt” but I can’t see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

lemmy.world had blocked and then unblocked a bunch of piracy communities that being one of them

But it looks like lemmy.world is currently not federating that piracy one specifically, maybe I missed another announcement

Unremoval of Piracy Communities - Lemmy.world

Hello World! As we’ve all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced [https://lemmy.world/post/3234363], were: - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], and their local counterparts as follow up actions. In our removal announcement [https://lemmy.world/post/3234363], we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn’t want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale. Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it’s time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds! We know it’s been a rough ride with everything, and we’d like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it. With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas! Lemmy.world Team ❤️

Does that include comments?
