nyaa.si has a bunch. Just be careful to not download the manga instead. (Both are under the same section, “Literature”.)

As Kolanaki said, copyright holders killed it.

If you’re looking for alternatives give Hayase (formerly Miru) a try.

Nobody is throwing eggs out. I’m recommending one basket instead of another, that’s it.

I’m avoiding linking lemmy.world instances. We shouldn’t put even more eggs in that basket, you know.

Here’s a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:

• ask lemmy - !asklemmy@lemm.ee !asklemmy@sh.itjust.works
• linux - !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip !linux@linux.community !linux@programming.dev
• memes* - !memes@sopuli.xyz !memes@slrpnk.net !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone !memes@midwest.social
• programmer humor - !programmer_humor@programming.dev
• world news - !news@beehaw.org !globalnews@lemmy.zip
• technology - !technology@sh.itjust.works
• funny - !funny@sh.itjust.works
• ukraine - !ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It’s fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they’re being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.

EDIT: as people noticed I’m not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I’m adding stuff that you guys suggest.

* for specialised memes, as the category is rather large:

• !science_memes@mander.xyz
• !reactionmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !mathmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !loweffortmemes@walledgarden.xyz
• !lotrmemes@midwest.social
• !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !fedimemes@feddit.uk

In this context “politics” clearly conveys “things directly related to governments, such as wars, elections, or socio-economical ideologies”. It is only a subset of the definition of politics that you’re probably using, something like “things direct or indirectly related to human groups and their conflicts of interest”.

We got a whole Lemmy to talk about Israel vs. Hamas, late stage capitalism, elections etc. We could - and should - have at least one community to chill and talk about other stuff, and without that rule we won’t have it. For example without that rule 99.99999% of the content as of late 2024 would be about Trump, as if Americans didn’t have multiple communities to talk about it already.

Yeah. I got a leg scar from a domestic cat that I’ve raised from kittendom, who’d easily have ripped my face if she could reach it*. A wild, larger, and more powerful version of that seems like a bad idea.

*because I was holding a kitten that she never saw before. Yup. Fuck you Kika, I love you but you’re a bloody arsehole.

For now.

DDG gets search results from Bing, owned by Microsoft. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the later did the same as Google did.

The alt text is nice, too: The weird sense of duty really good sysadmins have can border on the sociopathic, but it’s nice to know that it stands between the forces of darkness and your cat blog’s servers.
