For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:

• Similar defederation policy
• Runs the latest version of lemmy
• Defederated from Threads

Others moved to piefed.social.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not hype about moving from a great instance, but I feel this has been a great demonstration of why the federation is a good idea. All in all, migrating has been a fairly smooth experience, and most communities are either on other places or are moving fairly structured. Previously, closure of services or enshitification has caused me to spend weeks to months hunting for new places to read. This has been a great experience in most ways, and I think I can live happily jumping from instance to instance like this for a few years until I give up and set up my own.

Wait wait wait , what happened

Sticking around to the last day. Love you mods. Still haven't picked an instance. Not sure if there's another instance run like lemm.ee

Thinking dbzero, lemmy.zip, or shitjustworks for now

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.

I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

My first instance shut down permanently within days of my signing up. I believe it had sometime remotely doing with Russia suddenly deciding to invade Ukraine.

It really gave me that full cyberpunk experience.

Life's a piece of shit 
When you look at it 
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true 
You'll see it's all a show 
Keep 'em laughin' as you go 
Just remember that the last laugh is on you 
And

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life 

I hope they find a good new home.

Wait can I post?

I logged in today and realized my lemm.ee profile was gone RIP lemm.ee

Dang. Thank you for posting this; most informative shitpost ever! (I missed the official announcement.)

Does anyone know how I could save off any of my comments or posts? I know that they’ll still be accessible from other instance they federated to, but it’d be hard to search them all out.
