We should go and save the useful info to re-post it here, it's a good opportunity to migrate all the information.
The newest post on /r/piracy gave "go wild posting links and tank this site" vibes.

That is very weird of reddit to force open a PIRACY subreddit of all things
They probably didn't directly target /r/piracy but blanket hit all subs of a certain size.
.
Did not know about this site… very nice!
Thanks for the link btw
Dear googlers from the future after the-eye goes down: the archive can be easily downloaded from this magnet link assuming people are still seeding it
Oh wow, that's awesome. Thanks for the link.
Do you know of any good way of viewing the json data? Like a way that allows browsing it with submissions and comments connected?
Oh incredible. I see some subreddits that sent my down nostalgia lane too link megalinks. How do you view zst files anyways? I've never seen that.
The "zst" extension is used for files that are compressed with the ZSTD algorithm, usually you see them as ".tar.zst" files in the *nix world - tl;dr, they're Linux ZIP files.
As for how to open them on Windows or MacOS, idk.
Ah learn something new every day. Good thing I've got I got linux on my laptop. Just never had a reason to use another archive format before and had only encountered the zip 7zip kinds.
You gotta edit the link and make a spacing between the / and the ; Because the link doesn't work unless you edit the link itself..
.
There's an awful lot of TERRBILE 'information' on there though. What we don't need are thousands of posts from idiots who don't know what a torrent is, what a seeder is, what ddl is, why they receieved a warning notice, or a those idiotic 'why I pirate' shitposts.
"Why I pirate" was so annoying. It was like a lamp to the edgy moths who loved to bullshit how they're thieves and criminals and aren't afraid to admit it. Homie you're copying somebody else's copy of somebody else's copy of somebody else's copy of a bunch of files, you aren't slicing Spanish sailors' throats and plundering sugar, rum, food and drinking water from merchants and trading vessels
Yep. We objectively steal stuff (the question if it is morally correct is irrelevant) so why do we need to justify it? To ourselves?
We don't steal, we copy stuff we shouldn't. Big difference. Both are bad but different
Is there a link to this community in there yet? I'm not adding any traffic to reddit to check it out lol
Really needs to be if not. I suspect it'd be a major way for people to find this comm; this is now the main hub after all
It’s in the sidebar under “fallback” or something like that.
Still under fallback huh? That's a shame
Someone commented this place on the post about the subreddit reopening. That's how I got here. I backuped the megathread before realizing this community existed lol
I only discovered lemmy because, during the blackout, r/piracy linked here lol. Very useful, glad they did because lemmy is so good
Now that most of r/Piracy seems to be on the fediverse now, maybe reddit's advertisers would like to know that they endorse digital piracy. Might fuck up their IPO.
We need a home away from reddit for a long time. Always was scared of the ban hammer. Thank you Spez for giving us all the push we needed!
I expect magnet links, i expect direct links
The humor / memes posts there are the most annoying. I hope we don't see such low effort posts here.
Can we just have a separate community for piracy memes?
Should be fine up until the point where lemmy takes off. Then the meme/shit-posts begin. Reddit was pretty on topic back in the day when it was smaller.
the humor posts are my favorite tbh, but the guides n shit are also super cool
Shirking my responsibilities
