Piefed has a community migration feature: piefed.social/post/667044
Basically, find the piefed.social copy of your community and then look for the ‘move to piefed.social’ link in the sidebar.

Then let’s stop discuss hypothetical scenarios altogether if we can’t assess them?

They did not, you’re looking at linked instances

Niche topics were always going to be dependent on numbers.
I’m the single contributor to !lego@lemm.ee , one of the most popular toys on the planet. And I didn’t expect another regular poster to appear before we reached 60k monthly active users.
“Build it, and they will come” isn’t really true nowadays. We’re competing with Reddit, but also TikTok and Discord, where people seem to spend most of their time.

Indeed, but that’s true in both scenarios

Less communities on their instances means less traffic, less activities, less moderation reports (they would have to deal only with users on their own instances)
Those users are the same as in our universe for lemm.ee as a user instance. They stir the same dramas, create the same number of alts, violate rules in a similar way.
if even then they are overloaded with work, they could decide to scale down the operation before reaching burning-out point: close the instance for new registrations, make user registration conditional on payment/donation, etc.
That was available to the lemm.ee admins in our scenario as well. They preferred to shut the instance down rather than reduce.

A shame the communities will be lost in the transition, the movies/television communities are genuinely cursed. This is the 4th or 5th time people moved that community.
It’s okay, it’s routine now

But since then, we reached 47k monthly active users, mostly thanks to the federated model.
Beehaw has 415 monthly active users, and is highly moderated, so if people are looking for a smaller experience, I would recommend that instead

Also, have a look at this post: piefed.social/post/667044
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 7 hours ago:
Let’s say we are in a different universe where lemm.ee is a users instance, and not a groups instances.
Drama still happens involving lemm.ee users.
Admins still get burnt out.
They still shut down the instance.So indeed the communities wouldn’t have to move, but the 5.5k monthly active users of Lemm.ee (out of 47k total) would still have to find a new instance.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 7 hours ago:
Oh yeah, that was quite something too 😅
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 7 hours ago:
If you see a community for the first time, and then see harassment and insults everywhere, you’re probably not going to block every offender, you’re just going to not visit that community again.

handle so much of the chores and unsavory occurrences that the volunteer admins & mods on the Lemmysphere have to do on their own.
Reddit was known for years to leave the moderation tasks to the volunteers admins. I’m still a mod in a quite active sub, the mod queue is around 2600 items now.

Hm, if you need to migrate all of the content to a new community, that might require quite some work indeed.
What about gradually moving content over? lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film content is still there, and lemmy.film went down more than a year ago

feddit.au
Server not found?
- Comment on alternatives to lemm.ee? 7 hours ago:
So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill.
You will see, it’s great
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 7 hours ago:
Doesn’t really solve the issue, admins will all want to manage an instance for groups rather than instance for users as that would avoid much of the drama.

Enjoy lemmy.zip, it’s great!

Lemmy.cafe could be another option if you’d prefer a smaller general purpose instance (to help spread the load and prevent the burnout that lemm.ee experienced) that’s also run by a solid admin.
Some feedback on lemmy.cafe: it used to be my alt for a few weeks end of 2024. I liked the idea of the instance, and the them, and Illecors (the admin) was indeed quite nice to talk too.
That being said, there was an issue that lasted from 22th of November to 18th of January with the thumbnails not loading, while other instances running the same version didn’t have those issues: lemmy.cafe/post/9986198
I know that Illecors did his best, and people should definitely give the instance a try if they are interested, but this is just a warning to keep in mind that this is an instance mostly run by one person, so troubleshooting can take a bit of time.

More specifically, trying to migrate my project to another instance before .ee shuts down would be a herculean task AFAIK, especially with my having significant new health issues recently.
I can help with that, if needed. I’m going to have to migrate my own communities in the coming weeks, so I can help with yours too.

Definitely

Less than 200 commenters: discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/THOarSQv
Definitely not in the same ballpark as Lemmy/Piefed
- Comment on Is lemm.we actually shutting down? 8 hours ago:
!movies@lemm.ee, !casualconversation@lemm.ee, !television@lemm.ee
We are going to organize the migration in the coming days.
