Godspeed fellow lemm.ee users. Thank you mods for a great instance.

The first tragedy of Lemmy

The first tragedy was feddit.de dying after the admin got disappeared in North Korea
- Wait what?
- What? Really?
If you count kbin as Lemmy then I think that counts. Head dev ran into health problems.
- Is kbin no more
- That's where I entered the fediverse. I was there when the question about not pooping for an extended time was asked. Good times. Sad to see kbin is no more.

Shit. I keep forgetting to switch instances again. Any suggestions on a decent replacement?

Lemmy.zip has a similar federation policy to lemm.ee
Dbzer0, sopuli, literature.cafe.
- Here's what I believe are the top considerations:
  See which instances are blocked just add /instances to the end of the site. Like: lemm.ee/instances or sopuli.xyz/instances
  Check out the "all" for the instance of that's important to you. Each all is different depending on your instance (it's based on what other users on the instance are doing).
  I'm going to flip to PieFed since Voyager now has started beta support. I'll be on piefed.social
  I just don't want to go yet...
- Can anyone eli5?
- I have a literature.cafe from even before my lemm.ee account, but it doesn’t federate with piefed (at least in any way that I’ve noticed). Several communities I follow switched to piefed so I wasn’t able to see or follow them with literature.cafe
As someone who just switched, this isn't something you should sleep on. I tried another instance and it was insanely slow in comparison. You might need to try a couple of places to get it right.
I mean, I don't really know what makes a great instance. Lemmy.ca has never made me regret my decision though?
- That's because lemmy.ca is a great instance!
Most of us moved to .zip. Some moved to db0 and piefed.
I jumped to piedfed.social (and so from lemmy to piefed as well). The admin on my new instance is really great, reminds me of @sunarus back when I started on lemm.ee.
https://piefed.social/
Worth a look, I think, for all the great new features added to piefed, on top of what Lemmy (the server software) offers. Piefed is still compatible with Lemmy and the fediverse in general.
I went .zip seems to have very similar vibe to .ee
this one seems pretty decent and has a similarly sparse blocklist
Not .world
I need to switch.
- Doooo it!

so long and thanks for all the ~~fish~~ beans

I feel like I have to comment to every lemm.ee user i see because they'll be gone soon
- will you remember me once I'm gone?

Lemm.ee made me feel welcome and cozy in this new experience that was Lemmy. Admins and users I frequently noticed were chill and seemed to be overall decent folk. Appreciate everyone that made that instance what it was, thank you all and see you around on/from other instances.

it was a good run.

i was initially drawn to it because of the "ee" reminding me of ee cummings, the poet.

i love science and such so i've drifted on over to mander.xyz

reading through this thread it is newly apparent that all posts and comments will be deleted. :(

see you space cowboy

reading through this thread it is newly apparent that all posts and comments will be deleted. :(
They should stay on other federated instances, except if they're explicitly removed as long as the instance is still online.
Posts and comments will continue to exist on the instances that were federated with lemm.ee

Where do I go?

I went for sh.itjust.works
Seems okay for now. Just remember to export your settings. Then you can easily try a few other instances.
Join PieFed! It's nice and it's currently booming right now! A lot of posts on Reddit promoting it so we'll get a lot of new users. We already have a lot of communities on PieFed.
Not .world
- if you guys hate .world so much then why are y'all always here?
Not world.
The overcentralization is what allows them to shelter so many zionazis.
