      yeah well I also don’t wanna join a big and slow instance like lemmy.world. Also, the theming options on dbzer0 are the best.

      But it seems like this problem won’t ever go away for small instances, unless someone “pokes” it, i.e. goes to the community. (Subscribing is kinda hard considering it’s still inaccessible)

        Yeah, I mean a solution would be a bot that just crawled World and subscribed to anything with more than X users/posts/whatever.

        Then it would pull all those communities into your instances feed.

        At least I think? I’m like 90% sure that’s how it works.

      Lol, what? db0 is a medium sized instance ran by one of the former /r/piracy admins when they jumped ship during the exodus, and it’s reasonably active with a decent amount of real users and a very active owner.

      World is by far the largest instance by a huge margin. It is such an outlier that it effectively should be disregarded in comparisons with other instances.

      You’re on a small instance where most of the users I see are brand new troll accounts

      You wanna back up that statement with a fact or two?

        Here’s an example example from your post history

        https://lemmy.world/comment/10279387

        You’re saying that piracy is competition to record industries

        Like sure, they’re exploitive and greedy, but how the fuck can anyone compete with the exact same product but the price is zero?

        Only a troll would present that as a valid opinion.

        Same with selioning on a 3 day old comment, so obviously I’m blocking as soon as I hit submit.

          Lol ok I get where you are coming from now, dipshit.

          Edit: Commenter did not provide any supporting evidence for brand new troll accounts on our instance, because there aren’t any. Clearly, they don’t like piracy though, so I’ve done them a favor and removed dbzer0 from their feed.
