Ricardo was testing in production

Any specific infringement material (by which I mean media) would only be on the user’s home server. Links to content aren’t what is actionable for a DMCA notice as far as I’m aware. And the DMCA does not require platforms to actively monitor or remove potentially infringing content, only to follow the takedown procedure when sent an appropriate notification. If they follow that then they are protected from liability. That’s US law but IIRC the implementations in most of the rest of the world are similar if not the same. And here’s the rub: even without those communities, LW will still need to have a DMCA agent and take action against content when notified because people can and will upload infringing media here on other communities.

They’re not exposing themselves to additional risk by having the piracy communities unblocked. People can and will discuss piracy, in abstract terms at the very least, all over the place. And discussion of copyright infringement is not copyright infringement anyway. Any liability and risk they do hold they will still have to worry about now regardless.

there’s also https://lemmyverse.net/communities

You just use three backticks to start and end a code block, it’s just markdown.

e.g.

version: '3.4' 
  
services:
   vaultwarden: 
     image: vaultwarden/server:latest 
     restart: always 
     # environment: 
     #   SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: 'false' 
     #   ADMIN_TOKEN: 'your authentication token' 
     ports: 
       - '127.0.0.1:8200:80' 
     volumes: 
       - vaultwarden-data:/data/ 
...

I’ve not use it but this seems to support what you want. It’s a bit jank looking but seems to have the desired features.

Does your lemmy instance have a character limit?

I think a lot of the issue is the widespread use of the term Intellectual Property which, arguably deliberately, conflates a few completely distinct legal concepts under one umbrella.

https://lemmyverse.net/ is the most complete list you’re likely to find since it uses a crawler to find federated instances and their communities from an initial seed list of known instances. So unless an instance is defederated from all of the instances in their seed list then it should appear on there. It also counts subscriber numbers, etc. as a sum across all the instances it finds, which should give a sense of where the majority of the community are gathered if there are duplicates.

IIRC it doesn’t need a display, it’s a Web-based UI that you can use from another computer on the network if it doesn’t have a display, VNC would be overkill. Maybe they changed that.

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it’s been a long while since I’ve used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.

pseudoymous, even

My best shot has been “Lemmings”. Also I, personally, hate “Fedizens” so let’s hope that one doesn’t catch on.

Yeah, it’s only communities that people on your instance search for/subscribe to afaik. So if you’re the only one on your instance then you have control over that.

Further to that it’s only the post objects (and comments, etc.) that is replicated all pics and videos are just URLs. even when you upload a picture with the post, that’s just uploaded to the instance and the link to it is the link of the post, even on other instances the images are fetched from the original source from the client side. I do believe each instance does local thumbnaling.

Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.
