Comment on Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think
spikespiegelssidekick@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I was so fed up with IG and explored mastodon/pixelfed for a bit, and it felt like a lot of weight off my shoulder when looking at the feed(s) knowing that there is no machinery feeding me straightup BS. The “feed” was behaving exactly as it used to during the days when RSS was a thing (remember those?).
like… wow… I have control over this! and I don’t have to spend too much energy filtering off BS. That convinced to explore alternatives like Lemmy.
I joined today. :)

Welcome! Just FYI, lemmy.world blocks the piracy instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

can you elaborate?

*piracy
Yes, that’s one of the restrictions. I also think you can’t see your users’ comments. (perhaps posts too, I am uncertain)
If you’re not interested in following something there or it’s not a topic you’re interested in, it’s alright. You could always create another account somewhere else or browse their instance anonymously.
The good thing about Lemmy is that you can always switch to another instance in the future. I started for a few months on .world and then moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Welcome! I hope you have a great time here and I’m glad people are moving :)

They only specifically block the piracy community on db0’s instance, to my knowledge.

Ooooops, I didn’t realise @yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone meant _piracy_🏴☠️ it was late when I replied.😅
Anyway, thanks for letting me know!

Yeah, just wanted to let you know since that instance is very active and has several big communities
