Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

I also recently noticed a community that didn't seem aware of the shutdown: https://lemm.ee/post/67257681

Yep just lazy. I've already joined another instance but not switched yet.

self high five

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

The cuttlefish would be ashamed of this.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some communities seem to be going on as if it's normal. I notice this in the feeds when I find new lemm.ee communities I haven't added.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 16 points 2 months ago

Isn't it normal for us to pretend everything is ok while the apocalypse is upon us?

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I’ve seen nothing about this until this post so thank you. I’m using Voyager on iOS. It has somehow shielded me from this reality. Which instance should I join instead? I chose lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate other instances as much as most others seem to do.

[–] Getting6409@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Lemmy.zip and dbzer0 get recommended often for having similar federation stances.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Happy to help!

https://lemmy.zip/ is a solid choice. Similar moderation policy than lemm.ee.

Monthly reports: https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863

Lots of lemm.ee users moving there: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks friend, I’ll jump on lemmy.zip if they’ll have me. 2 million unique visitors in a month is more than respectable.

[–] h4mi@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All good now, thanks again :)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Enjoy lemmy.zip!

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Make sure and subscribe to the "meta" community on whatever new instance you choose. That's where stuff like this is gonna be posted, that's where the lemm.ee shutdown was first announced.

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t subscribe to anything, I just browse All, sorted by top 6 hours. Every post I see is from a different micro community and instance so I never saw the point of curating a subscription list like I did on Reddit. Thanks anyways!

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

I do the exact same. The meta community is the only one I subscribe to. Makes it easier to check it periodically for announcements.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

I asked this question a while ago here https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/37809092/18820669 and got some more-or-less helpful answers.

[–] RandomGen1@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

Just being lazy setting up a new account, probably on zip

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If they can't be bothered to read the stickied post that they all can see, then what else are you going to do for them?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The pinned post is only visible in the Local feed, not Subscribed or Local: https://lemm.ee/

It's not guaranteed how some apps deal with it either.

Bringing it to the lemm.ee people you seem could be a way: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47084070/19534238

[–] Bonus@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We definitely received several notices all over the 'verse. I've been checking out multiple alternatives. The only way someone is unaware of the closure is if they're not active. In any case, what's to worry about? One day, some inactive users will not be able to log in to a closed instance. They'll have to join somewhere else.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's visible in All and in Local it's only not visible in Subscribed if someone is not subbed to that comm.

I like your enthusiasm about it. I just don't know what else could be done other than hounding everyone you see about it.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll be honest, if I was off Lemmy for the week it was initially announced, I probably would have missed it. I haven't seen any notification in my app, or come across the sticky in my normal browsing.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The only way you'd never see the sticky is if you only browse Subscribed and are not subbed to c/Meta. Every other browsing option shows the sticky.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I browse all. My app will show it if I browse local.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

I usually only use Subscribed

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I'm just lazy. I'll swap over in the next few days. Probably...

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m checking in on missed messages

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did that and had nothing and got sad and removed my account from my apps.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I just did again and found your reply :)

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In my case, yes I am worried I'm lazy enough that I won't switch to a new account in time.

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

Well it doesn't really matter whether we switch now or on July 1st, I guess. Only good thing about doing it now is the possibility to export subscriptions and import them into the new account.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Switching now allows you to indeed troubleshoot the migration of your settings. It works most of the time, but it can be a bit clunky

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I haven't switched yet but I don't see the point I have until the end of the month why would I bother doing the move now

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

As long as you're aware, that's good

Hmm, as long as the comms local to lemm.ee have moved and they all have a pinned post stating where they moved to, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I will use it until it stops working, and then I will grieve

Sometimes I wonder. Could we send out a mass PM to everyone on lemm.ee about this?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure how that would be perceived

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

β€œJust a reminder, your instance is shutting down in two days here’s a link to the post explaining. You can make an account on another instance and continue to interact with lemmy”

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The other issue is that ideally we would need the lemm.ee admins to send that, but I'm not sure they want to interact with the site before it shuts down.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah…

Maybe we just need to make a couple more front page memes about lemm.ee

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

That will do the trick. Warning you will not see bean memes past June 30.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Some people tend to get on Lemmy once every few days.
