    Technically, it has an equivalent in r/ich_iel. But that’s a generic German meme sub, while the fediverse version is dominated by half a dozen users making memes about their private life. It has a weird-as-fuck soap opera love story between a cow and ramen noodles, hero worship of a bright yellow superhero fighting against parking offenders, and genuinely interesting insights into the German public train system.

    !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    /r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it’s ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.

      Because otherwise it would get instantly banned. You don’t host piracy communities on social media, it’s well known

      I disagree that it actually talks about the “ethical philosophy.” Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you’re downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of “idc, I want free stuff.” That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.

          We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.

              Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.

    Gotta be !imageai@sh.itjust.works. The weekly community challenges are really cool and I don’t think you could find a better space to experiment with and learn about AI artwork. The userbase is knowledgeable/skilled on the topic and also has good vibes.

      Personally I don’t see that as a good thing. Reddit had a thriving community of active art sharing subrrddits, Lemmy only has a few barely active art coms and instead floods All with ai-generated images.

        A) just block the community

        B) Lemmy also has active !traditional_art@lemmy.world communities, it just has less activity in general. We can have an infinite amount of communities on this platform, for both topics. It’s not a zero-sum game

        Why do you think the existence of the AI image community is hurting the other art communities on Lemmy? I’m subscribed to and enjoy content from both.

    Lemmit.

    Yeah, you can downvote if you want. The point being that Lemmy’s niche communities are kind of dead, because it’s not really big enough to sustain them yet. Lemmit at least provides a bridge so I can see the ones stranded on Reddit.

      I’m gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I’m super confused.

        It’s a type of joke where the spoken line relates to the described manner of speaking, usually in a pun, eg.

        “Salmon is just the best,” Tom said superficially.

        The adverb “superficially” sounds like “super fish”, which describes Tom’s attitude towards salmon.
