So what about all the valuble content in the Communities posted?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago

Posts that propagated to other communities will stay on servers.

Images will break though.

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 11 points 1 day ago

I'm an .ee refugee. I just hope this stuff doesn't become the norm where instances get shut down

[–] Razzazzika@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Shit I'm out of the loop, is my account being deleted or something?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

End of june, lemm.ee is shutting down.

don't worry though, most communities are available on other instances.

Just make a new account on lemmy.zip, export your settings/subscriptions from lemm.ee and import them on .zip.

Out of loop? We had posts and posts about lemm.ee going down, how did you missed it?
Anyway, end of June lemm.ee is going down, which means it won't be accessible! If you want to access lemmy after that, you have to find a new instance. Have a look here to search for a new instance.

Don't forget to export your profile settings from settings > Import/Export Settings > export.

[–] Razzazzika@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Been busy with moving and stuff. This is the first I saw anything. Thanks for the info.

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yes. End of june.

[–] trash_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Lemm.ee was my home instance. I will miss it dearly. I wasn't as active as I probably could have been, but I'm still sad.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm sorry but the best is dbzero. Lemm.ee was a damn good instance too though

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it adds to our mystique that not even our regulars can spell it correctly :D

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I will now try to misspell it in a new way every time 🫡

[–] Tweak@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

The lemm.ee admin is a shit hot developer though, his instance was generally more robust than all the others, and he helped other instances when they had various problems. It's a shame he wasn't the lead lemmy developer, although I'm sure he doesn't have the time for such a big undertaking.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I saw that, which is why I allowed myself to gas it up here.

Again, just to be clear, no disrespect meant to lemm.ee refugees or the former admin, I just wanted to rep my instance to any potential former lemm.ee users because I like it here !

Wherever you guys migrate, please stop concentrating the userbase around lemmy.world, that's exactly what we're trying to avoid with Lemmy to begin with. The best thing you can do is go to https://join-lemmy.org/ and choose a server that's not in the top 10 or so. This will also help avoid things like the admins/mods burning out

Thank you, not just for showing respect and appreciation to the people behind Lemm.ee but because these posts are a magnet for the kind of trolls everyone should block before migrating elsewhere. 👌

It was great while it lasted, and I thank those that ran it. A breath of fresh air after initially being on an instance that decided to nanny its users by defederating from instances for no good reasons.

I have a backup account on sdf.org, so I'm now using that as my main instance. Thanks to those who run it.

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, SDF is a good choice (and a very interesting org in its own right)

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I'll be honest i don't get what people differentiate so much about instances. most of the time i don't even notice what instance people I'm talking to are from, what instance the community in browsing is from, what instance the meme I'm viewing is from... is it about the software you're using that you're so aware of these things?

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To me, it's mostly how an instance is ran. How it makes its decisions: defederating or not, and with whom, how they handle complaints, how they handle bans, etc. makes a difference in both the communities it hosts and its members.

There's also the matter of user culture. Some instances, like Beehaw, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear are known for a certain user culture. Some users might steer clear away from certain instances because of that perceived user culture.

And then there's the issue of defederation stance. It might not be readily apparent, or affect your user experience in a big way, but for some users, it's a factor. This is also where lemm.ee made its mark. It basically used defederation as a last resort, and some users were drawn to that.

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That's why I was here. I've already made a few more accounts just to have backups in case this happens again, but I really really enjoyed how I could see most of the Fediverse, and could block with my own settings if I didn't like the way another instance was ran. I will miss it. :'-]

Community cultures, mostly, as trimmed and pruned by admins. Most instances I don't notice massive differences in, with a few exceptions.

NOoooooooo :(

lemm.ee has been hands down my favourite instance, it's genuinely depressing that it's going.

[–] TheMightyCat@lemm.ee 93 points 3 days ago

Thank you to all the admins and donators who kept lemm.ee going.

[–] AizawaC47@lemm.ee 63 points 3 days ago

Oh …..oh God, why!!! Why!? It’s too soon!!! 😭😩

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what do i do now i only use jerboa how do i change instances

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Go to https://lemm.ee/settings in a web browser (I'm not sure its in jerboa), and export your settings.
Make an account at lemmy.zip or lemmy.cafe, go to settings there, and import the settings file.

then, log out of jerboa, and log in with your new account.

[–] Ideonek@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can you explain why Lemmy.zip or Lemmy.cafe specifcaly?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

lemmy.zip is the most similar, it has a great admin and a similar federation policy.

Lemmy.cafe was just the second instance to come into my head.

Thx for all the severing!

[–] LucidNightmare@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

Fellow lemm.ee refugee!

Thank you to the lemm.ee admins and mods for everything. I will miss the defederation policy the most!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 30 points 3 days ago

You're not crying, I'm crying!

lemm.ee is shutting down, due to admin burnout.
