The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.
If this is a problem for you, I’d suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn’t block it (such as lemm.ee).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
Yea but what if lemm.ee decides to block piracy as well? Back to square one then. Honestly I’m thinking if self hosting at this point, at least then I get to decide on the bullshittery.
If you use one of the tools to migrate your account, the blocked communities are saved and come along to your new home instance.
Could you post the tools to do that?

Oh my god thank you, been trying to find something that does exactly this for a while. Subscribed to hundreds of communities and blocked even more and I was seriously considering adding and blocking everything manually to another account on another instance. Thank god I was lazy with that.
So far my experience with lemm.ee has been pretty good. No forced defederations that I’m aware of, generally free to browse whatever when in /r/all.
And it’s up pretty much all the time which helps.
