Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month
Zenith@lemm.ee 2 days agoIf the reason EE is shutting down due to lack of staff why would anyone go to a smaller one/one run by a single person? This is incredibly likely to happen there too. I didn’t actually realize this was a thing that could even happen, I just picked an instance at random, but picking the biggest and most robust instance seems like the best way to stave this off for as long as possible.
It’s a fair worry.
As the admin of thelemmy.club though I will say my aim is absolutely not growth for it’s own sake. If the site starts to get larger than I want I will stop allowing signups. I welcome new users, but I’m not trying to be a big instance either.
Hmm true

Small instances can have far less drama and workload. Just because an instance isn’t popular and has a small admin team doesn’t mean it’s in danger of folding up. 😀
