The reddit piracy community was in a neverending struggle to avoid being banned from the site, constantly censoring and restricting what people could post to keep the reddit admins happy. What’s the situation with that sort of thing on lemmy? Is it a free for all? Same situation as back there? Something in between? I guess we may all find out together…
Judging by the IP address, lemmy.ml seems to be located in France. That’s not fantastic for take-down notices, as far as I’m aware.
I’m in Serbia, land of the free, home of the torrents. I don’t know if there are VPS providers here, but if so, it’s a good country for hosting anything but government criticism (not that you’d need to criticize Vućić the benevolent, long may he reign).
I just want the website to work normally man… The current influx of new users has shut almost everything down. The poor server hamsters…
Yea, we got some growing pains. I hope Lemmy.ml has prepared for Monday. If the tinyest percentage of Reddit comes along (and I’ve been mentions of Lemmy in many subreddits) then this place will experience a deluge.
