Thank you for all your work!
Still waitin for lemmy.7z or lemmy.tar
@pineapplelover@lemm.ee you can only access by entering a semantically correct invocation of tar as run on a POSIX box from 1978.
tar
Ok, but why did they do this and why is it good?
Lemm.ee is shutting down, so they had to change. Lemmy.zip is the best choice
Been trying to figure out where to migrate. This is the biggest endorsement that I should shift to .zip
Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.
Bit shit for UK users though since lemmy.zip is blocked for them. Not exactly going to encourage new users from here.
They should direct their concerns to the source of the issue - the ones that put UK in this predicament.
Realistically that is never going to happen. The biggest issue the fediverse has is onboarding. People just looking to try out a reddit alternative aren’t going to bother emailing their fucking MP just because the default settings of an app won’t let them sign up. They’ll just give up and go elsewhere.
If we want to encourage growth, adding additional barriers isn’t the way to do it.
Lemmy.zip is blocked on a national level for the UK?
that is okay feddit.uk is blocked by my default blocklist on the router. I’ve started to add it to the white list a few times but no I think I’ll let fate sort it out.
It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.
Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip, seems like the transparency and the great monthly reports (lemmy.zip/post/39959863) paid back!
Wow, that’s amazing 🥲
You deserve it, one of the best instances [and admins] by far.

It would be nice if it wasn’t onto the zip domain.
I’d always be terrified to get a surprise zip bomb auto downloading

Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?

There's a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.

lemmings.world or pifed.social both are general purpose, and relatively small

Maybe Cafe? Honestly I don’t think they should have default option

lemm.ee and lemmy.zip also federate hexbear.
