Damn! :( That seriously sucks. I feel for the burned out admins and totally understand why they can't do it anymore. (The shitheads in the world have contributed to my own burnout, too.)

Thanks for posting here letting us know. I hope this community and other cool ones are able to find a new instance to call home and can come back better than ever.

I know this community hasn't been super active, but I've really enjoyed it. Thank you so much to all those who've contributed! <3 I hope to still see y'all around!

but I’ve really enjoyed it.

Me too, and I hope it lives on elsewhere myself!

@Scirocco@lemm.ee @sag@lemm.ee Any plans on moving this community to another instance?

[-] Scirocco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I've made one one on .world

TBH I am not particularly adept in the fediversification things and not sure

should we attempt to (is there a method for...) port any/all of the posts over there? Is there a way to "reassign" them? Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort.....

It appears to be !CassetteFuturism@lemmy.world, for anyone looking.

Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort…

PieFed apparently has some functionality like this; the !InternetIsBeautiful@lemm.ee migration to !InternetIsBeautiful@piefed.social did this, and old posts---including, importantly, a new copy of images posted by lemm.ee users now hosted on piefed.social---are visible on that instance. I have not seen old posts yet show up on my own instance as of this writing, and am not sure whether they will do so or are even expected to do so.

Honestly, there aren't that many posts in this community's history---only ~240-and-change---and it'd be a shame to lose the images. Tell you what, @Scirocco@lemm.ee and @sag@lemm.ee. I'll go ahead and take the initiative and go through and manually repost the history myself to the new community with what images I can recover, and upload to lemmy.today's pict-rs instance; not all are still accessible.

Also, given that catbox.moe---another popular place to host content posted to the Threadiverse---is also at risk of going down, probably a good thing to get anything on there off anyway, if anyone's used that.

It might be worth asking for advice in !fediverse@lemmy.world

I’ve been slacking on posting here due to work, but maybe reposting the content again will help drive traffic to the .world one?
