At the very bottom is a menu with an entry called “Instances”. Click that to see lists of linked and blocked instances.

Just FYI that does not tell .world members about which communities lemmy.world admins block. Whether on purpose or accidental lemmy.world admins are a bit secretive about which communities they block, there is no published list anywhere I could find. If you find one let me know but AFAIK it does not exist.

So per your example .world members can see that instances are linked and federated (including dbzero) but there’s no indication about any blocked communities on those linked instances.

You would need to view the instance directly, not through lemmy.world due to the lemmy.world admins blocking it. I’m not sure if lemmy.world admins block links to it too but if you need a link look up all the Lemmy instances at https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active

Divisions by zero is currently the 7th most active Lemmy instance.

From there you’d just have to decide if you want to create an account at that instance itself, or just create an account at a different Lemmy instance that isn’t blocking piracy communities. I think lemmy.world admins may be the only ones actively blocking piracy communities… I haven’t heard of other admins at other instances doing that.

The link is from February 1st, about a blog post in January. I clicked here thinking Bitwarden just raised their subscription price again haha.

Feels like the article is slightly off base, the people today looking for something physical and memorable have been buying vinyl. In 2026 most people I know don’t have a CD player let alone a CD burner. But lots them do buy and play vinyl and have record players for that purpose.

Or… if the article is just a nostalgia deep dive then why the commitment to CDs? You could do the same passing around USB sticks if the purpose is to share music with friends.

Also wonder if the article writer’s own discs actually still work, burned discs don’t last that long. They mention having a whole box of old discs but I don’t know if they actually tried to play them and checked them for errors. A while back I was doing some data recovery for a friend who had all her stuff burned to discs over the years, turned out about 20% of her discs were either unreadable or full of errors.

from the article

The issue appears mainly on Samsung laptops and can prevent users from accessing files or launching applications.

Having a computer that cannot launch applications, let alone access files, is basically the same as not having a working computer.

I guess using AI to moderate AI and bots wasn’t working out.

Maybe they’ll pivot to being a site similar to Moltbook, just bots moderating other bots that are conversing with each other. Sounds like they were almost there.
