Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Just woke up. 28 new applications! Each time i refresh the page i get two new apps.
Welcome to all former users of r/GenP! An admin is talking to one of their mods about getting their community onto here, hopefully we can work something out.
I hope you all like the Instance, and Lemmy as a whole.
But guys... You gotta read the application ;) Just because it's simple doesn't mean you get to ignore and get it wrong completely :D
As of writing this i just got 6 more applications ;-;
Thank you for your hard work to have us gathering here :)
Glad to be here. Can anyone give me a recommendation of a good VPN for p2p or should I get a vps and run my app from there? I used Vuze and utorrent back in the day and am out of the loop. Just tired of the 10 subscriptions these days and then my show ends up switching to a different provider that I don't have. Also, I'm boycotting Spotify and have my old iPod back out. Forgot how much I loved that thing!
if you'retech-savvy-: mullvad VPN, and a selfhosted seedbox using qbittorrent or deluge (both are FOSS torrent clients)
if you're not as tech savvy: protonVPN, (and their app suite with the "unlimited" package, its really good, and a good price for how much you get), plus qbitorrent.
and whatever you do.... MAKE SURE TO BIND THE CLIENT TO THE VPN INTERFACE
I am in no way against paid software.
I am, however, against
actively making sure that people, who can't afford it, don't get the software
only offering your software as a subscription service
only offering a license that can be revoked at any point instead of the actual software.

Glory to GenP!
And the colors fly high once again.
Piracy and free software helped me immensely from high school to college, and it's still helping me now in my working life. Really thankful for everyone involved in maintaining GenP and this community!
Our pleasure :p
Thank you for keeping this important project going! Glad I was able to follow it.
Suffering from success
My finger is broken from all the applications ;-;
We appreciate your hardwork!
the fact that all of this happened just because of a discord ping is so wild 😭😭 but glad to be here!!
I like popcorn.
Can you expand what went on?
Same.
In the official discord server they promoted revolt/dbzer0 a lot. I joined both (before the revolt existed) and pretty much fanned the flames lmao.
Nice admin. Met lots of cool people.
Hello :D
FUCK ADOBE
FUCK NESTLE
welcome new friends! can someone fill me in on what's going on with GenP?
Adobe thought it would be funny to send a cease and desist to Reddit and Discord which were our only two communities. We just switched to Lemmy and Revolt, and will setup a self-hosted matrix server in the future.
Subreddit got shut down by admins, and the discord (can't reach it sadly) is telling their users to come here :D
Thanks for the help fxomt! Glad to be here!
Welcome ya'll. If you didn't bring a pirate hat of your own, feel free to pirate one. Or indeed, anything.
Sorry you lost your old home, but also, you're going to be so surprised when you realize the fediverse is like the old internet. (To that end, I recommend lurking until you're comfortable and understand the whole... fediverse... thing.)
The community alone has ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND USERS... That's 10x our whole instance userbase 💀
Hopefully some of the new users will bring cool communities/niches with them :D
And donations for the server costs 😬
That too 🫠
as soon as i get employed trust 🤞🏻
I'm in!
Thank you dbzer0 for hosting GenP <3
I've been a pirate since 1998 when I was 8 years old so I know a couple of things that I felt would qualify and well look: here I am :D
hello lol the process was nice and quick so that was pretty neat
No problem :D
Great to be a part of this community. and thanks for the warm welcome.... r/GenP!
Welcome everyone ! Keep going OP, we're cheering for you :)
❤️
