Welcome!

Due the recent high amount of users coming over from Reddit, many of the existing large Lemmy instances have been struggling to keep up. This instance was created to help spread out the load on the Lemmy network. Lemmy newbies are welcome here.

The goal for lemm.ee is to provide a home Lemmy instance for anybody that needs one. That means that you are more than welcome here even if you mostly intend to just interact with other instances rather than this one!

Note: if you want to start up a new community here, but the name is already taken by an inactive community, then don't worry! Inactive communities can be transferred to new moderators. Please follow the steps outlined in our FAQ under the "How can I take over an inactive community" section.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a federated link aggregator. This image explains it pretty well! In general, the fact that it's "federated" just means that it works much like e-mail - in the same way as a Gmail user can send e-mails to iCloud Mail users or Outlook users, a lemm.ee user is able to participate in communities on many different Lemmy instances. Regardless of which Lemmy instance your account lives on, you are a part of the federated network and can interact with other users from other instances, so this instance is as good of a place as any other to get started with Lemmy.

If you have any further questions about Lemmy, please check out our guide/FAQ!

About lemm.ee (this instance)

lemm.ee is intended to be a serious long-term instance, not just some random experiment.

You can always find the most up to date rules and general info about lemm.ee in the sidebar on our front page. If you want to know more about how this instance is run, you can check our administration and federation policy.


For some technical background, this instance is operated following industry best practices:

  • Our infrastructure is robust and has been built up with redundancy and recoverability in mind
  • The servers are running in the cloud (this is not some bedroom server situation!)
  • All of the infrastructure is described declaratively as code, which allows relatively quick and safe changes to any part of our infrastructure whenever necessary
  • Our entire database is backed up constantly, so in the worst case, we can always restore our data

A significant chunk of funding for this infrastructure comes directly from our amazing community. This support is essential to help secure our future. These supporters deserve the gratitude of all lemm.ee users!

You can read more details about how our instance is funded on this GitHub sponsorships page. There is also a Ko-Fi donations page as a back-up.


If it sounds like lemm.ee might be the right instance for you, then you are welcome to join us!

I deleted my twelve year reddit account yesterday as soon as the Sync app gave the error. The day the internet died! Kinda bittersweet. I'm subscribing to a number of Lemmy communities that may develop into the type of places I used to hang out. I tend to lurk unless there is a thread subject on which I have some expertise and think a comment would add value. It is like starting over to find those specialized subject areas and posters here but I'm treating it like a new adventure. I never had a Twitter account but am also giving Mastodon a try too. Thanks for lemm.ee and the fediverse alternative!

hexbear users are signing up on lemm.ee so they can continue to post in communities that defederated from them.

These accounts should be banned as they're clearly malicious actors abusing communities that had already banned them. Ban evasion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think the two users you replied to in that shit thread were actual hexbear accounts. It looks like they were able to interact with people they were federated with in that thread.

Even if a hexbear user made an account on another server and interacted on a server hexbear wasn’t federated with that’s not really ban evasion.

Even if a hexbear user made an account on another server and interacted with a server that banned them it’s still possibly not ban evasion since just removing the boy from the country is sometimes enough to change behaviors.

Even if a hexbear user made an account on another server and interacted with a server that banned them In the same way that got them banned in the first place, plenty of servers don’t have ban evasion as against the rules.

Even if a hexbear user made an account on another server and interacted with a server that banned them and it was both on a server which had rules against ban evasion and from a server with rules against ban evasion, it’s on the server that did the banning to enforce the ban evasion.

So even if it were so, you need to be complaining to shit not .ee.

Maybe worry less about the commies rolling you in the comments sections.

Uploading avatars/banners is broken at this moment. Didn't try posting images.

I’ve been here for a couple weeks now and of the instances I’ve tried out this one definitely suits me the best for now. I signed up for GitHub just so I can support the server via sponsorships. Thanks for all the work you do!

I'm another user coming from lemmy.world. Had a lot of connectivity issues there and hoping this is a more stable instance. This also seems like a safe option to help offload bigger servers and balance out the network.

Hey there, I'm just another refugee from Reddit with no tech skills. Fumbled a bit trying to figure out this site, I'll begin to learn now that I was able to create an account, all thanks to you ✌️

I am here, from reddit. Because reddit sucks, and this place is better

reddit + apollo refugee and happy to be here! excited to dive head-first into lemmy πŸ€™

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I was so happy to see the app open. It's nice to see such a different way of communicating online. Long live the federation lol!

Hey, @[email protected], would it be possible to have different frontends, like old on lemmy.world?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This has already been answered on this post: https://lemm.ee/post/2561997

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hi!

I created an account here after struggling for weeks on .world. I sincerely hope they can figure out all the issues because I still consider there my "home" for now ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks for the instance! What is this instance's stance on privacy? (for example, do you intend to keep logs indefinitely, and do you only keep the minimum data necessary to run the service)

I trust this instance and have created my account here. Hope to have a nice experience here.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to use lemmy? For example, how to sub to popular communities? How to search for them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Tutorial? Sadly not, but..! This has been the most handy-dandy way for me to find communities. Godspeed!
