Piracy communities remain blocked on lemmy.world despite "Unremoval of Piracy Communities" announcement - Lemmy.zip

“Unremoval of Piracy Communities” https://lemmy.world/post/6018317 [https://lemmy.world/post/6018317] This post needs to be updated to reflect the current policy. Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities [https://lemmy.world/post/13320356] announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [email protected], which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community. Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

That’s why I run my own instance, dont like others decide what must be censored for me.

I hope to do that too one day

Its not that difficult you need a VPS or a public reachable ip at home and docker/podman.
Show threadxvertigoxFeb 17
So you run your own instance and federate with other instances as you please? How are you hosting it / is it doable via docker?
Show threadalonsohmtzFeb 17

Yes, you can use docker: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/install_docker.html

I recommend using a VPS for wireguard and a cheap used workstation like a Dell Optiplex for the actual hosting. That way you can forward all ports without your ISP knowing.

Install with Docker

Rad, tyvm. I’ve got a proxmox server at home running wireguard so I’ll give it a hoon on that. Thanks again.

Thanks will look into this.

Yes I use docker, I have documented my effort here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

It was pretty easy and require zero maintenance, just remember to update the containers. Space utiliztion and resources are pretty low, depending on how many communities you subscribe.

Also, I host it at home (with public reachable ip of course)

Lemmy Lemmy is the Fediverse response to the reddit like social media, but of course, federated. What't not to like? And isn't it the best opportunity to self-host for your personal use and have your own Lemmy instance?

Would love to know how to do that. Like to not be censored.

How does federation work? Do you need to specifically federate with everyone or just those you don’t want to federate with
Show threadShimitarFeb 18
Its automatic. You can defederate, bit federation is utomatic.
Show threadLedgeDropFeb 18

Thanks for sharing.

Have you had any issues with other, larger instances not federating with you? (just because your small, they don’t want to risk being spammed by trolls/bots/etc)

This would be my only concern in hosting my own instance.

Show threadShimitarFeb 18
Never had such an issue
Show threadFedditor385Feb 18

But so you can decide for others what you want to censor for them. Because I can name a few things that you would probably want ASAP removed from your instance, if someone posted such things.

Everyone would do the same if they personally were exposed to legal liability.

I am my only user, so…
Show threadmic_check_one_twoFeb 18
I highly suspect that they’re the sole user on their instance. That’s fairly common for people who just want to avoid the headache of dealing with rogue admins. Just spin up an instance, and then your server only federates with the instances and communities that you directly interact with. No need to worry about the “things you would want removed ASAP” unless you’re the one seeking out those things.
