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:
Illegal in which country? Copyright infringement isn’t illegal in my country for example, except for severe cases where you’re profiting off of it. If we have to cater to all countries’ laws we might as well ban music as well since it’s illegal in Afghanistan.

I’m assuming Germany. As I understand, lemmy.world’s admin is Dutch, the servers are located in Finland and they are leased from a German company. So if piracy is illegal in any of these countries, they could get into trouble. From what I know, Germany is quite strict, so I’m guessing that is the concern.
Also ban haram Posting because it’s illegal in some random Muslim country.
