He y’all, same db0 as usual, posting from the FHMY instance. As we expect a big surge of pirates and lemmy is urging people to also utilize other instances, please consider accessing this community via FHMY: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/piracy@lemmy.ml

You’ll need to make a new account in that instance but you’ll be able to see the same posts as here.

    Yes but FMHY will be the server that’s showing you the content, which means less requests to lemmy.ml

    Probably well under 1% of people who read content interact with it, so it’s not a big deal to only send interactions to lemmy.ml

      Really? I haven’t looked at the code for federated post retrieval, but I assume that whenever a post on a lemmy.ml community is viewed from fmhy.ml, a request to either retrieve or update the post and its comments is still made to lemmy.ml as the post and comment data is stored there. fmhy.ml is only making a cached copy of the post that needs to be refreshed by contacting lemmy.ml.
