It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren’t going to be dead in less than a month.
F
It’s a good run.
Press F to pay respects

Ok, any advice where we should move?

If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they’re down right now for a bit, so I’m not sure when they’ll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

I went with sopuli.xyz. People are friendly and the instance is stable.
Vespair@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I don’t love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.
Not to say I don’t understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

I’m moving to both piefed and .zip
RagingHungryPanda@piefed.social 10 months ago
there is one issue that I've found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I'm using the piefed account I made to test it.
My guess is that it ends in ".zip" and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren't bothering with.
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
I’m on SDF for its no-defederation policy and because SDF outside of Lemmy has a proven track record of public service and longevity. Like SDF is much older than I am. Occasionally there are hiccups and the SDF team is a bit slow to respond, but otherwise it’s been a good time. And the people here seem pretty chill too.
For my needs it’s the best one. But you might want something with a curated feed, a particular political orientation, or something else.

I’ve applied for .zip; is .add a more general purpose instance?
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
the advice i’ve heard is pick one that isn’t too big but not too small either. spend some time looking at the local communities to see if they align with what you want. .zip is focused on gaming and tech which is me. others are politics heavy. some are widely defederated, which may be the only thing that really matters-- you don’t want one that everyone can’t stand

I moved to lemmy.world
No real reason tbh

Wait wait wait , what happened
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Lemme.ee got so toxic that the admins bailed. Nobody in the community supported the leads or stepped up to replace them. Whomever was fronting the money to keep the instance hosted got fed up and decided to shut it down.
Now there’s a big ceremonial cry-in for an instance that ate itself with dysfunction, because… idfk.
scytale@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Talk about over exaggeration lol. Lemm.ee was fine and well run, I enjoyed it more than being on .world. They just didn’t have enough people willing to be admins.
rockerface@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Oh, so you just like making shit up. I guess it’s to distract yourself from the feeling of your own incompetence?

Tbh I thought it was low-hanging fruit and I wondered why no one was picking it. Wasn’t really paying attention to the admin drama.
simple@lemm.ee 10 months ago
That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently didn’t get any good applications.
So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

Most positive Lemmy user
optional@piefed.social 10 months ago
the posts and comments will still live in other instances, but yeah, they should be looking for another one
DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 months ago
I hope they find a good new home.
ramble81@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I bounced over to Lemmy.zip
Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I don’t know what most of the instances are about, but this one had a clever name and I don’t believe is federated with Hexbear. So here I am.
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
It’s powered by renewables which is cool :)
conditional_soup@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I’ve started the process of moving everything, but I plan on going down with the ship. Btw, is there an easy way to check which instances a Lemmy/piefed instance is defederated from?
