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 😁

Bro, this community rocks, I didn't ditch Reddit completely but god all the time I head to /r/piracy are the same repeated memes all over again, here we have actual discussion.

As /r/piracy was one of my favorite subreddits, if not the favorite I always was scared Reddit would vanish it... Well not anymore, I am glad Lemmy happened so we have this awesome community, possibly forever.

BTW my lemm.ee account was created due to my prior lemmy.world blocking this community, I know they backtracked that decision, but I am so comfortable here that I didn't even bother to go back.

Lol, for me it was similar, I had a few things I didn't like about lemm.ee so I ditched my account there and went here by accident (well just by searchimg and it fulfilling all my needs and a ton more things), ended up liking this instance a ton so it became my daily driver

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

To what level is this community still affiliated with the subreddit?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same mods. I don't particularly hang out in reddit anymore, but @sunbrothersco@lemmy.dbzer0.com is still doing unpaid volunteering for spez :P

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

is still doing unpaid volunteering for spez :P

Spez is going to pay back, don't you know about Reddit karma turning into real gold? /s

Not to sound too tinfoil-hatty, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that was sock puppet accounts. When you don’t want people to unify and leave, just start a flame war!
