This set of communities has been long abandoned by its creator:

!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com !cemupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !3dspiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !questpiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !retropirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com !vitapiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !roms@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yes, they are a lot, but if everyone goes for what they like, we may end up reviving some of them :). There’s also;

!steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com -

Which I’m trying to revive myself, but help is appreciated

  • Help has come, thanks!

I still hope we get someone to help with so many communities, big hug!!!

      That’s fine!, maybe you find someone to help you here in case you need it. If you don’t need help, then all good :)

      This place is still about trying to revive topics we like, not just moderating them, so maybe someone sees this and decides to post something in there.

      pd. !roms@lemmy.dbzer0.com (your link gives 404, /c/ doesn’t work thus it tries to load it as a user profile.

    Hey shaytan!

    Thanks for making this post, it’s really great, and is exactly what i imagine to be an example of a good post for this community. I’m glad to see you’re trying to revive the more niche piracy communities.

    I’ve checked all the communities and moderators, and it hits the criteria, but as per rules:

    @hassanmckusick@lemmy.discothe.quest

    @Lord_Nikon@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    @DeliciousMeatPop@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    @ScratchySoft@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    @SuperBio@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    @IcyTable208X@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    To any of those pinged who are reading this: reply to this comment to disqualify your communities, or if you have no interest in modding them anymore.

      Hey, uh… I’m one of the mods on !retropirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com. I haven’t been on in a while because… Well, I just haven’t been able to figure out what to do with it outside of posting links, which is… Discouraged outside of the megathread, at least last I checked the rules.

        No problem, i have the same problem a lot with my communities, too. I think it’d probably be best to either be with c/piracy or a retro gaming community, since it’s probably a niche on lemmy.

          I see… Is there already a retro gaming community on dbzer0? If not, maybe I could try reorienting the sub to be a more general retro gaming community? But that still doesn’t solve the problem of tying it into the subject matter of the rest of the site without posting links discouraged under the site’s policies (though I’m not sure how well-enforced that is)… Maybe discussing emulators and advancements in them as well as… Maybe information on new dumps bimonthly or something? Perhaps another issue is the fact that !roms@lemmy.dbzer0.com, already fairly niche on this site, is still the de facto retro piracy sub on here judging by how popular it is compared to !retropirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

            I guess it would be roms, yeah. In general we don’t have much retro piracy stuff strangely, one would assume it would be popular lol.

            Sorry i couldn’t help much, good luck

        No need, it only works through comments, and i’ve already handled that.

        I hope you find users to mod these communities, and good luck with steamdeckpiracy!

      Hi. Been crazy busy to the point of not being able to mod as much as I used to. I posted looking for mods a good while back but not many really responded; if anyone wants to take em up then lemme know and I can see about transferring though I’m still fuzzy on the process.

        Hi! It’s no problem. I’d recommend creating a new post for searching for active mods. To transfer just add them as a mod then remove yourself from the mod team. Thanks for creating this communities btw!

          Np. Some of em do have posts searching for active mods though pinning is a thing now so I’m assuming it’s better to do that assuming the original isn’t buried in some way.
