I just want to say that I have moved from ee to zip and the export-import function is easy and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you for sharing!
.zip seems to have more timeouts and actions need to be retried 🤔
If you want to try out PieFed (An alternative front-end to the Fediverse) instead of Lemmy you can check out quokk.au or piefed.social
Other honorable mentions:
Any of these having similar moderation and federation policy as lemm.ee?
Piefed.zip is managed by the lemmy.zip team. Their blocked list is similar to the lemm.ee one: https://lemmy.zip/instances
Not the original commenter but I was digging for a couple alternatives before the end times arrive so thanks for sharing this
Does the lemmy import and export settings/saved posts still work? I doubt it but just thought I’d ask
It should, if you still manage to access Lemm.ee
It's now down for me, but this might be a me issue.
Oh that’s good
My speed has been spotty but I’m sure that’s cus a lots happening both backend and user stuff
If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws),
Wait why?
gonna miss you, lemm.ee.
I've migrated this account to db0 and making copy accounts at a few other places such as sopuli.
The only thing I'm missing is how to migrate my posts, can't find a way to do that.
And, gonna be real:
Gonna miss lemm.ee. It has a je ne sais quadracoptêre that made it feel a quite cozy community, somehow.
Posts are federated already, so you can't migrate them. The content from your old account is already on the new server, just under your old account name. Importing posts to a new account, especially if they "posted" from that new account isnt possible.
It would be great to have a "migrated/archived" tab on an account that would bring over posts/content in a local only way that was just attached to that account, but that's not a feature lemmy has.
Thanks for the good times lemm.ee. Just got my zip account today.
If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws)[...]
That's news for me. Anyone know what law(s) exactly they have problems with?
I’m not 100% how this all works. I use the Voyager app on iOS with Lemm.ee. Do I need to switch apps as well as make a new account?
Not at all. To create an account on a new instance with voyager:
- Click on your account in the bottom center.
- click “Accounts” on the top left.
- Click “Edit” on the top right
- Click on the + at the top left
It will let you create a new account on any server you wish and use it with voyager.
For example, I’m on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, and I am communicating to you with voyager. But I also sometimes communicate with my alt @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com and I access that from voyager too.
Thank you so much!
Point your new account/instance by adding it on your lemm.ee bio! So others can find you.
Farewell to the best Lemmy instance!
I think I should be trying Lemmy.zip instance. Any feedback on that?
Quite a few in this thread
Moved over to zip no problem, but I can’t find a way to export my comments/posts. I know I can access my profile via zip but will that be cached and available after the servers are shut down?
What do you mean by "export my comments/posts"? You can't migrate your posts from one account to the other if that's the question.
Your account on zip will be a new one just with imported settings and communities you follow
I’d like a list of links to them so I can at least go view them on instances they’ve federated to at some time.
Ah ok, but each instance will have its own link so you would at least have to chose which instance you would get the links
Is there a list of that shows where the main communities on lemm.ee are moving to?
I already moved to Lemmy.zip (they just accepted my account), I exported the lemm.ee settings from the configuration page to lemmy.zip, but I'd also like to backup my upvoted and saved posts (I am interested more in the latter), any ideas?
EDIT: nvm, it seems they were exported? it took a little to make them appear, maybe upvoted content is a no-no then.
Well, it's been an, uh, interesting trial of Lemmy these past few months but I ultimately don't think this place is a viable replacement for reddit. Too many weirdos, too many extremist instances, communities distributed to the point of total dilution, and instances just disappearing when some dude is sick of it. Goodbye lemm.ee and Lemmy, good luck.
Based on your moderation history, seems like you interacted with Hexbear. They are quite unique.
A lot of hive mind, too.
