Yarr me mateys!

Arrr, be ye askin’ if it be true that the megathread be the community edition o’ the thread, and it not be gettin’ the proper swabbin’ o’ the decks, eh? In other words, be the community edition o’ the thread bein’ left to rot, without any landlubbers to keep it ship-shape?

Just wanted say I really appreciate the community here, and love that there is a lemmy community edition of the megathread, but was wondering if it is being maintained? It seems that the last update was in october, while the old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community seems to be more recent.

I don’t know if the old megathread is any better regarding the links, just asking if there are any people with access to community wiki that are keeping an eye on it and updating links?

I’m sorry that I myself am not active editor, I understand that we who are not on dbzer0 lemmy instance don’t really have edit access on the wiki.

Arrr, thanks to ye, matey, and may the winds o’ fortune blow in yer favor, givin’ ye a grand day ahead!

      Yeah with the “old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community” I mean that one and noticed that it is getting more edits than the community one here.

      Wanted to basically know whether the lemmy community megathread is basically unmaintained and should I just use the rentry one. I really like the idea of lemmy community megathread, but I feel like if it is not maintained it might be more of a hazard. But I’m no expert and wanted a community discussion about this.

      Edit: wanted to add that this is a pirate community afterall, would be of no shame to … pirate rentry megathread to lemmy community wiki every once in awhile, har har har

    Are there specific issues noted, or just asking based on the time last updated?

    I’ve thought about looking over to see what might need cleaned up, but many of my personal use cases or methods might not fully align with the general consensus.

    Along the same lines, is there anything you’d like to see added?

      I last brought the wiki fully into sync with the rentry version at the end of October and there’s been few edits since then since re-launching the community edition.

      How do feel about the idea of creating a c/Piracy Wiki Updates community, where users can post any updates they come across, and the c/piracy mods (or any local instance users who want to volunteer) can make the edits on the wiki.

      It might be a good middle ground between having the wiki completely community-driven and having it curated by one or two people like the rentry one is currently. And it would provide a channel for non local instance users to suggest edits.

      Just a suggestion at this stage - if anyone else has any better ideas I’d be glad to hear them :)

        I actually like that idea! (As a non-dbzer0 user). But a separate community might be too much at this point considering no one has made a comment about it. How about posts in this community with a specific “tag”? [MEGATHREAD] or something?

        Just my two cents added to your suggestion.

      Not really no, I haven’t bumped into any issues using the community wiki megathread so far.

      My question was prompted by me accidentally using a old bookmark that took me to rentry and noticed that it had seen updates very recently and compared to lemmy community wiki which seemed like it has not been updated since october. I started wondering whether the links were still all fine and there was no need to update them, or was it simply mostly abandoned and do people rather use rentry?

      I personally prefer the lemmy community edition, but I’m such a noob when it comes to piracy that I put maybe too much trust into the megathread and this was just a wake up call to double check what am I clicking on and thought maybe asking the community about the state of the wiki wasn’t a bad idea.
