    Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.

    That’s kinda strange, not gonna lie. I was expecting a lot more subs in the meme communities etc.

    I do find it interesting that when lemmy instances are mentioned, lemmy.dbzer0.com is mentioned as an afterthought, if at all :D

    Although good for the active community, I don’t feel like it’s a great advertisement of lemmy for the wider public

    Why is there no lemmy.world community at all? I’m pretty sure it has a lot of big communities

      Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.

    Keep in mind that Lemmy.world communities are not listed due to crawling issues.

    Because people here are tired of being exploited by corps I would assume.

    Also it’s a teenage thing. No money but wants to play all the latest games. :)

    I used to download every single game when I was a kid.
