lemm.ee dead
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
It's 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.
im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th
Well... it's 10 before midnight here. I'm pretty sure a bit east from me it's the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don't know where lemm.ee was located.
Estonia, so it's already the 30th there
pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.
Ah. My instance reports the last activity from lemm.ee from 45mins ago... So that'd be June 30th, 00:14 Estonian time. And the main page forwards to join-lemmy.org now. Looks like the shutdown to me.
Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.
well yes, i am estonian
I wasn't affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
interesting 🤔
Not really, the admins and just about every active community on there announced a month ago that they were shutting down.
I think op was saying it's interesting that it redirects rather than just an error
That's not really interesting. DNS changes don't propagate instantly. It's likely OPs DNS server was still pointing to the old server even though the domain redirect had already been set by the owners.
So you are the arbiter of interesting now?
That’s pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.
oh, now it does
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
… as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.
Done did their final sudo docker compose down
Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right
True story I actually meant to switch to .zip and I had both it and dbzer0 open in tabs for a few days (deciding between them) and on d-day for .ee I opened one and signed in and did the verification... and then realized where I was. And actually I'm happy with my accidental choice. It's rad here.
How’s zip so far?
its good but I feel like I ran into less not likable ppl on lemm.ee, maybe they were already blocked instancewide or something
Or maybe ppl here are more argumentative these days lol
Oh I hear you…. I didn’t think about that. World is heavily moderated and switching to another instance opens me up to more aggressive personalities.
It's ok I just don't like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn't do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.
As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it's time to spread out.
db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country's lemmy.

Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn't get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.
I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don't even know if it's worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I've only had the idea not the motivation.
Refugee families 🚣
I'm not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*^
^*^ - timezone dependent but +/-24hours.
Same. at least users of lemm.ee were given a lot of notice in advance so they could prep

What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?
The admin team burned out
Bummer - sucks to lose a good server
and the estonian community was on there too, and my account on there.
I miss it.
Same, it was a good instance.
Bad like brian over here. Signed up for lemme just to be kicked off the first server. Hopefully it’s an extremely rare event. If world goes down, I’m out.
I hear Digg is close to launching its beta or whatever..
Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
