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.
Edit: Sorry to lemm.ee users if this is how you found out, but this is real: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884
You'll need to join another instance to keep posting: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've started the process of moving my communities and stuff, but I plan on continuing to post on .ee until it goes down. Btw, is there an easy way to check which instances a Lemmy/piefed instance is defederated from?

For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:
- Similar defederation policy
- Runs the latest version of lemmy
- Defederated from Threads
Others moved to piefed.social.

yah me too

I hope they find a good new home.
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.

I'm moving to both piefed and .zip
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.

Ok, any advice where we should move?
I went with sopuli.xyz. People are friendly and the instance is stable.

there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll.
While I respect their decision I feel like these people will just move on to other instances to do the same thing.
I don't know all the details but it smells a bit "tolerant of the intolerant" and that these people should have been shown the door before it got to the point of shutting down (other reasons aside - they're all valid)

I bounced over to Lemmy.zip

Does anyone know how I could save off any of my comments or posts? I know that they’ll still be accessible from other instance they federated to, but it’d be hard to search them all out.

Any thoughts on reddthat.com?

The bad actors probably will move. But the problem is 99% of instance admins are volunteers and do it because they want to. It’s much harder to deal with that shit when it’s a labor of love and you’re not getting paid.
Most were “shown the door” as you mentioned but like spam, it’s a tsunami that’s hard to deal with on a large scale.

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.

What I did is I linked my new account in the bio of the old one and vice versa. Not much more you can do.

I’m just thinking that won’t work past the 30th as it’ll try to take you to a non-existent server

From the admin post:
"If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline."

Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.
And to be clear I'm all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I've seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.
Regardless, it's sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet's worst members.

I just moved/transferred over from sh.itjust.works from lemm.ee. I'm super sad to see it go.
