The first tragedy was feddit.de dying after the admin got disappeared in North Korea
Wait what?
It's a popular meme on feddit.org. The admin disappeared on a trip to an unspecified Asian country and the instance died. He hasn't been heard from since, so this is clearly the only logical explanation.
Are we sure he "disappeared on a trip to an unspecified asian country"? Or did he just lost the motivation to run the instance further?
No, but that was the last time anyone has heard from him.

If you count kbin as Lemmy then I think that counts. Head dev ran into health problems.

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?
lemme.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.
The admin team is understaffed and suffering from burnout.
You still have a few days to gracefully transition your account to another Lemmy instance.
Wait is there a way for me to move this account or am I misreading phrasing
No, you can't move the existing account. But I think you can export your settings, including subscribed communities.
It might be a good idea to add a description to your lemm.ee account saying what your new account is, kinda like a forwarding address, because people will still be able to view your old account from their instances.
That’s what I thought it just sounded like I could move the actual account
No, the best you can do is, if you want people to know your new one, is edit your profile now with a link to your new account. Because your old posts and profile won't be gone when lemm.ee is gone.
Take a backup from settings. It contains subscriptions, saved posts and blocks
I didn’t know I could export save posts
Do I just go to the lemm.ee website and export that?

I believe you can export settings, subscriptions, etc and apply them to a new account. Not old post or comments or anything.

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.
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.
this one seems pretty decent and has a similarly sparse blocklist
I went .zip seems to have very similar vibe to .ee

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
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

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
