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.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not hype about moving from a great instance, but I feel this has been a great demonstration of why the federation is a good idea.
All in all, migrating has been a fairly smooth experience, and most communities are either on other places or are moving fairly structured. Previously, closure of services or enshitification has caused me to spend weeks to months hunting for new places to read. This has been a great experience in most ways, and I think I can live happily jumping from instance to instance like this for a few years until I give up and set up my own. -

My first instance shut down permanently within days of my signing up. I believe it had sometime remotely doing with Russia suddenly deciding to invade Ukraine.
It really gave me that full cyberpunk experience.

My first instance also shut down pretty quickly after I started using it, but not for major conflict reasons. I'll get the cyberpunk experience some other time I guess..

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.
This is exactly why allowing .zip as a gTLD was such a damn stupid move.
-
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.
So what's the difference between that and .world? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I don't see any "about us" pages for these Lemmy servers

Scroll down to the bottom of both instances' home pages using the default lemmy UI. You'll see the version of lemmy they use. You'll also see a link labeled as Legal, which contains most of the instance's policies. The Instances link will show you what instances they are federated and defederated with. The modlog can also give you some insight on what's happening on the instance. Combine that with all the other information on their sidebars and you'll get a rough idea of how different they are managed.
It also helps if you've been on lemmy for a while because you would've directly experienced or witnessed any issues or controversies those instances have been involved with.

I still miss kbin...
I didn't like it personally, BUT! I will say! Kbin was a cooler name than Mbin.

It'll still be around. Hell, people can still even reply to stuff. Inactive lemm.ee communities won't have new comments propagate to instances past where the original commenter is from, but still!

Be seeing you soon,
Thanks to the lemm.ee admins

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Sticking around to the last day. Love you mods. Still haven't picked an instance. Not sure if there's another instance run like lemm.ee
Thinking dbzero, lemmy.zip, or shitjustworks for now

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.
For those looking where to head, here's where I picked.
