Just pinning this - we are getting a little battered by people importing their data from lemm.ee.
If you get a timeout or a rate limit error, please try using a VPN to upload it 😊
If this doesn't work, feel free to shoot us a PM or let us know!

Hi, non- lemm.ee newcomer here. I'm trying to import settings from srlpnk. It's throwing an immediate error, not a timeout (though I have gotten some rate limit messages). I took a look at the json file, and I think the problem may be trying to reference avatar etc images on slrpnk.net. Looks like I may be able to delete the strings and replace them with :null, but with you guys getting slammed I didn't want to further gum up the works. Figured I'd run it by yas for input first. No rush, thanks!
Hey - lots of new things we've not seen before being uncovered. Feel free to give it a shot (backup the old version first!) And let us know if it works or not. If that is the issue, I'll log an issue with the lemmy devs as I'm sure it'll help someone in the future
Good luck!
Just made my account, thanks for having us!
Welcome! 👋
Hey! Another .ee refugee here! Thank you all for keeping us alive in these trying times.
I really wish for here to be my long term home. If there is anything we can do to help on top of donations, I would be happy to participate :)
Welcome, welcome. Excellent snag of a 3char username.
Mosey around, make yourself at home. Donations can be made on Open Collective and Ko-Fi.
Hi there! I'm investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it's fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don't see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it's to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it's fairly important to me.
Thanks so much!
Hey - no issues with VPN. You might get more cloudflare challenges, but we won't block you! We have no plans to enable a block either.
Awesome thanks for that, and for welcoming us. Will get my act together and sign up SoonTM : )
oh boy yeah, it's me the #1927397 or something of the lemm.ee refugees, yeah. thanks btw~ hope ya guys survive more months!
What you didn't realize is that it is one person with lots of data and alts
I liiiiiive!
Thanks for hosting me!
I'm not transferring anything over. I'll rediscover things instead. Seems more fun. .ee gave me a chance to learn Lemmy. .Zip can be home.
Same, not looking forward to surprise furry porn until I get those blocked but whatcha gonna do?
Oh yea....well. it's something to do.
.zip has been the best instance that I've experienced. Welcome aboard!
I'm not importing anything either, I'll let everything go with the instance.
New home, new discoveries as you said :D
Glad to be here, thanks for welcoming us lemm.ee users!
More folk still wandering in, love to see it. A shame about the circumstances though.
Hope you get on well here :)
Welcome everyone! .zip has an amazing admin team and excellent monthly updates. I landed here pretty fast after leaving R and have never felt any reason to set up an account anywhere else. If you like it after a few months, you should donate - I imagine a few hundred more active users might be some increase to resource needs.
Yeah donations are an important point - the server is coping with the current levels of traffic, but its certainly not thriving! If we are lucky enough to be chosen by a majority of .ee, we will definitely need to consider an upgrade or additional hardware.

Lemm.ee refugee here. I made my account over twenty-four hours ago, and was expecting that the registration will take time to be processed since at the time I made my application, this instance is among the most recommended. I was expecting the admins to be swamped. I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to my e-mails, an e-mail confirmation request was waiting, and just minutes after my confirmation, my registration was approved.
I am very thankful for the swift response, and thankful for the way this instance is ran (my primary reason choosing this over the others--it reminds me of lemm.ee in a good way).
Again, thanks!
Welcome aboard! The admin team have been flat out approving the requests (and taking time to enjoy many of the application messages!) so I'm really happy people are noticing this.
While the circumstances are rubbish, we're glad to have you here :)
(and taking time to enjoy many of the application messages!)
I would love to see some of these - maybe as an 'editors pick' on the monthly updates. Attributed or anonymous depending on user preference if picked.
I am sure plenty of users have attempted comedy in that box, with some of them actually funny 🙃

Yet another lemm.ee refugee, thanks for taking us in! Can't wait to start my new home here ☺️
Hey, welcome! :)
Hello! The warm welcome is appreciated! I’m a lemm.ee member who’s sad to see that instance being closed. Thankfully I’ve found this fine place.
ZippyBot got the job done by sending both a DM and email.
Thanks and I’ll see you out there.

Heya. It's Zathras from lemm.ee. Thanks for adopting all of us who are migrating. Cheers!
"I am Zathras from lemmy.zip, you have met Zathras from lemm.ee - is different Zathras.
listen! Zathras. Zathras. different, yes?"
For all the newcomers, Demigodrick & co do a fantastic job of looking after us all in our little corner.
For UK users, you may be better off at feddit.uk though. This instance has opted to geoblock UK (on browsers at least - apps and instance federation currently unaffected) due to the requirements of the OSA. Worth a mention.
I keep an alt on feddit.uk but still use this as my main. Where allowed, it is good practice to keep an alt elsewhere and occasionally copy your community subscriptions over to it. Saves a lot of time and panic if a lemm.ee situation arises again.
Oh, and welcome!
Welcome!
Hey, I'm another refugee, thanks for let me in
