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

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 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 - [email protected].
If you have any questions, please let us know and we'll do our best to answer them.
Thanks,
The Lemmy.zip Admin Team
Lemm.ee refugee here. I made my account over twenty-four hours ago, and was expecting that the registration will take time to be processed since at the time I made my application, this instance is among the most recommended. I was expecting the admins to be swamped. I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to my e-mails, an e-mail confirmation request was waiting, and just minutes after my confirmation, my registration was approved.
I am very thankful for the swift response, and thankful for the way this instance is ran (my primary reason choosing this over the others--it reminds me of lemm.ee in a good way).
Again, thanks!
Welcome aboard! The admin team have been flat out approving the requests (and taking time to enjoy many of the application messages!) so I'm really happy people are noticing this.
While the circumstances are rubbish, we're glad to have you here :)
I would love to see some of these - maybe as an 'editors pick' on the monthly updates. Attributed or anonymous depending on user preference if picked.
I am sure plenty of users have attempted comedy in that box, with some of them actually funny 🙃
I will certainly consider it! :D pre-warning, I am not promising many of them are good 😂
Thanks!! It's really noticeable, at least as far as I'm concerned. And I hope that even if you guys take your time, the new applicants will understand the delay (hell, perhaps even expect some delays because this is not in any way an ordinary situation).
Glad to be here too, thanks!
i hope you all enjoyed my story of me shitting my pants 😂
