Press F to pay respects

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.
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."

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.
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.

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
You have until June 30th, 2025, so you have 19 days.
I just moved/transferred over from sh.itjust.works from lemm.ee. I'm super sad to see it go.

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.
Join us! Join the .zip!

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.
I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

I went with sopuli.xyz. People are friendly and the instance is stable.
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)

Same, although I never get attached to the instance I'm on. I was on .world before that. I'm just a hermit crab on Lemmy, I guess.

It was my first Lemmy love.

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 nobody showed up.
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.
The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.
I've modded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It's a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.

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.
It’s powered by renewables which is cool

I've seen you everywhere, or maybe it's just my Metroid fanboy eyes picking up...

I do comment a lot (probably too much) some days...
