Hello to all of our new users.

I wish we could all meet in better circumstances. The closing of lemm.ee is a real blow to the fediverse, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for the lemm.ee admin team. Lemm.ee was a cornerstone of the lemmy community, and set a high bar for moderation and technical performance.

Finding a home on the fediverse can be tough. Whether you're here to lurk, post, moderate, or contribute in your own way, we’re glad you’ve joined us. Lemmy.zip might not replace what was lost, but we hope it can become a lemmy instance where you can feel at home.


Everyone should receive a welcome PM when they sign up to Lemmy.zip from the ~~ever-present dark lord overseer~~ friendly bot, ZippyBot. However, in case poor Zippy has been overworked and forgotten to send the PM to you, here's some helpful information regarding Lemmy.zip!

  • All of our policies can be found at legal.lemmy.zip. This includes our Code of Conduct. Please (please!) have a read of this. Our number 1 rule is Remember the human! (no harassment, threats, etc.). We absolutely adhere to this. Treat people with respect.

  • When you created your account, we set up some "Default Blocks". If you want a more unfiltered Lemmy experience, you can head to your account settings and remove the blocks. You can read more about this in our Welcome Post - they are currently hexbear and lemmgrad.

  • We have monthly updates! You can read the latest one here!. We're always open to suggestions if there's anything else you'd like to see in these.

  • We have some metrics around federation for the curious among you. The link is in the sidebar or you can click here!

  • We have our status page at status.lemmy.zip. In the unlikely event the server becomes sentient and starts a robot uprising, full details will be available here.

Finally, your admin team is myself (Demigodrick), Sami, Druid, and Gazby. Please reach out to any of us if you feel you need help or support with anything. We also have a support email - hello@lemmy.zip.


If you have any questions, please let us know and we'll do our best to answer them.

Thanks,

The Lemmy.zip Admin Team

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Can we have a list of the default blocks (perhaps divided into political vs NSFW)? I have dozens of my own blocks which I had already imported before knowing you added some by default.

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Hey, welcome along! I've updated the post to include them but its currently hexbear and lemmygrad that get blocked on account creation.

[–] Sagan@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you for the warm welcome and the very quick approval!

Not sure I got that, but thank you!

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's a derivative of the ligma joke if you're familiar with that. don't worry about it :D

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

I'm definitely not :D

[–] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for welcoming us refugees!

I was going to fall back to my oldest account on lemmy.one but that instance is closing within 90 days as well.

I'll be donating later today on my lunch break!

[–] Sterling@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I migrated to Lemm.ee because of Lemmy.one shutting down. Now I'm afraid I might be cursed.

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I might be cursed

No no no, that's me, don't worry. I might migrate over there! (do worry)

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Sad to see lemm.ee go, but welcome to all the new folk!

[–] Zathras@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Heya. It's Zathras from lemm.ee. Thanks for adopting all of us who are migrating. Cheers!

[–] grozzle@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

"I am Zathras from lemmy.zip, you have met Zathras from lemm.ee - is different Zathras.

listen! Zathras. Zathras. different, yes?"

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Glad to be here, thanks for welcoming us lemm.ee users!

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

More folk still wandering in, love to see it. A shame about the circumstances though.

Hope you get on well here :)

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Thank you! Happy to be here😉

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

we set up some "Default Blocks".

:(

anyways, gl to the lemmee refugees

[–] Lumun@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had the same reaction. .zip had some votes on this in the past and didn't defed from HB at that time so I guess this is a later compromise? My opinion is that a "disable to unblock" option is much closer to defederation than not. .ee wasn't defederated from you either, right?

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, it was the compromise, my understanding is they wanted fewer people to complain about Hexbear, so now few see Hexbear.

And yes, .ee wasn't de-federated from us, but they de-federated from basically no-one. Load from them having to moderate arguments with Hexbear users has at least a little bit to do with the closure.

I'm glad to be here tbh. I considered moving to either here or blahaj a few times just to get away from the biggest instances, but I had no issues with lemm.ee so I never did in the end. But here's my push I guess!

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Hey, welcome :)

My immortality begins now I’ve been told. Queue Highlander theme music!

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hi, I'm thinking of maybe creating an account on lemmy.zip.

What I read in the legal docs looks promising. I have one question however: I do not see a proper imprint at lemmy.zip . Is the site and the domain privately owned? Not in a foundation or anything? If yes, are there plans in place in the case of the site owner stepping down from the project? Like transfer to another admin? Or could something like on lemm.ee with a closure happen as well at some point hypothetically?

It’s weird to see Lemmy.ee shut down as that was the first instance I joined. Moving here before all this happened is a strange coincidence.

[–] tonig@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up about the default blocks, I didn't notice that and not too happy about it. But I'm having a great experience overall so far.

Welcome! 👋

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

Hey! Another .ee refugee here! Thank you all for keeping us alive in these trying times.

I really wish for here to be my long term home. If there is anything we can do to help on top of donations, I would be happy to participate :)

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Welcome, welcome. Excellent snag of a 3char username.

Mosey around, make yourself at home. Donations can be made on Open Collective and Ko-Fi.
