Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

I also recently noticed a community that didn't seem aware of the shutdown: https://lemm.ee/post/67257681

Yep just lazy. I've already joined another instance but not switched yet.

self high five

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

The cuttlefish would be ashamed of this.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some communities seem to be going on as if it's normal. I notice this in the feeds when I find new lemm.ee communities I haven't added.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 16 points 1 month ago

Isn't it normal for us to pretend everything is ok while the apocalypse is upon us?

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I’ve seen nothing about this until this post so thank you. I’m using Voyager on iOS. It has somehow shielded me from this reality. Which instance should I join instead? I chose lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate other instances as much as most others seem to do.

[–] Getting6409@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Lemmy.zip and dbzer0 get recommended often for having similar federation stances.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Happy to help!

https://lemmy.zip/ is a solid choice. Similar moderation policy than lemm.ee.

Monthly reports: https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863

Lots of lemm.ee users moving there: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks friend, I’ll jump on lemmy.zip if they’ll have me. 2 million unique visitors in a month is more than respectable.

[–] h4mi@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All good now, thanks again :)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Enjoy lemmy.zip!

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Make sure and subscribe to the "meta" community on whatever new instance you choose. That's where stuff like this is gonna be posted, that's where the lemm.ee shutdown was first announced.

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t subscribe to anything, I just browse All, sorted by top 6 hours. Every post I see is from a different micro community and instance so I never saw the point of curating a subscription list like I did on Reddit. Thanks anyways!

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I do the exact same. The meta community is the only one I subscribe to. Makes it easier to check it periodically for announcements.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

I asked this question a while ago here https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/37809092/18820669 and got some more-or-less helpful answers.

[–] RandomGen1@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Just being lazy setting up a new account, probably on zip

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If they can't be bothered to read the stickied post that they all can see, then what else are you going to do for them?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The pinned post is only visible in the Local feed, not Subscribed or Local: https://lemm.ee/

It's not guaranteed how some apps deal with it either.

Bringing it to the lemm.ee people you seem could be a way: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47084070/19534238

[–] Bonus@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We definitely received several notices all over the 'verse. I've been checking out multiple alternatives. The only way someone is unaware of the closure is if they're not active. In any case, what's to worry about? One day, some inactive users will not be able to log in to a closed instance. They'll have to join somewhere else.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's visible in All and in Local it's only not visible in Subscribed if someone is not subbed to that comm.

I like your enthusiasm about it. I just don't know what else could be done other than hounding everyone you see about it.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll be honest, if I was off Lemmy for the week it was initially announced, I probably would have missed it. I haven't seen any notification in my app, or come across the sticky in my normal browsing.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

The only way you'd never see the sticky is if you only browse Subscribed and are not subbed to c/Meta. Every other browsing option shows the sticky.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I usually only use Subscribed

In my case, yes I am worried I'm lazy enough that I won't switch to a new account in time.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well it doesn't really matter whether we switch now or on July 1st, I guess. Only good thing about doing it now is the possibility to export subscriptions and import them into the new account.

I’m checking in on missed messages

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did that and had nothing and got sad and removed my account from my apps.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I just did again and found your reply :)

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I haven't switched yet but I don't see the point I have until the end of the month why would I bother doing the move now

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

As long as you're aware, that's good

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Doing it before the 30th has the advantage of being able to export subscriptions and import them into the new account. I guess that's not possible anymore when it shuts down.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

I'm just lazy. I'll swap over in the next few days. Probably...

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hmm, as long as the comms local to lemm.ee have moved and they all have a pinned post stating where they moved to, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I will use it until it stops working, and then I will grieve

walls... closing in....

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Soooo isn't there anyone willing to take over?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Some people tend to get on Lemmy once every few days.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sometimes I wonder. Could we send out a mass PM to everyone on lemm.ee about this?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not sure how that would be perceived

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

β€œJust a reminder, your instance is shutting down in two days here’s a link to the post explaining. You can make an account on another instance and continue to interact with lemmy”

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The other issue is that ideally we would need the lemm.ee admins to send that, but I'm not sure they want to interact with the site before it shuts down.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah…

Maybe we just need to make a couple more front page memes about lemm.ee

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

That will do the trick. Warning you will not see bean memes past June 30.
