It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren't going to be dead in less than a month.
Edit: Sorry to lemm.ee users if this is how you found out, but this is real: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884
You'll need to join another instance to keep posting: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
You have until June 30th, 2025, so you have 19 days.
You are on Lemm.ee. Unfortunately, this is the instance this post is about.
In about 17 days, you will no longer be able to login with your lemm.ee account. You should sign up for an account on any other instance. Examples include lemmy.sdf.org (the one I'm on) or any of the sites listed here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Lemmy (and PieFed and mBin, but I'm just going to talk about Lemmy for simplicity) attempts to provide an experience inspired by Reddit, but not controlled exclusively by one party. Loosely speaking, where Reddit is only one website and the whole social network belongs solely to Reddit, the social network spanned by Lemmy is actually a bunch of smaller websites that talk to each other. If the Reddit website goes down, the whole social network is down. If a Lemmy instance goes down, only that little part of network goes down.
Unfortunately, the admins of your instance have politely posted that your instance is going down on June 30th. This applies to you and anyone whose username ends in @lemm.ee, but it does not apply to (for example) me because I am not a user on your instance. (I am on lemmy.sdf.org, which you can infer from my full username @PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org, which ends with @lemmy.sdf.org.)
Which instance you pick depends on what you want to see, what kind of administration you want, your political beliefs and how important they are, and who you want to be allowed to talk to. For my use case, I use SDF Lemmy because we don't defederate (roughly, cut off communication) from anyone, even people who unambiguously deserve to be cut off. Furthermore, the people here are pretty chill. And SDF.org has a history of public service literally much older than I am, so SDF Lemmy will probably be around for a while.
Occasionally SDF Lemmy is out for like 24 hours and the SDF.org admins are a bit slow to respond, but that's fine for me. But also, SDF is a pretty big instance now. In order to not concentrate too much power in the hands of SDF (or anyone else), you should probably choose a less crowded instance.
I know that I need to migrate, nevertheless thank you for making sure I know. What I meant with
Is that honestly I don't see how I am connected to the instance to begin with. I'm trying to find a comparison that expresses what I feel but I fail to find a good one. Like a browser choice? No, there are differences in using firefox vs chrome. Like an email provider? Nah, also a huge difference. Like a remote control? I have come across weirdly designed remote controls though.
But the instance - I have no connection to it whatsoever. It is just a random thing that provides me access to (all instances of) lemmy. I'm not sure I could care less about it.
Maybe the closest I can come up with is the difference between a gmail.account ending in .com or in .de .
But again, maybe I am missing something important here. I'm really tech illiterate and it is not the area I have an innate grasp at. (I used to drop that I have no idea what a router is, how tf the internet works (there are cables at the bottom of the ocean?!) or how code is even doing stuff. The problem is that I always end up with an inbox of people thinking they will be the one to make me understand.)
