Just pinning this - we are getting a little battered by people importing their data from lemm.ee.

If you get a timeout or a rate limit error, please try using a VPN to upload it 😊

If this doesn't work, feel free to shoot us a PM or let us know!

Hello! The warm welcome is appreciated! I’m a lemm.ee member who’s sad to see that instance being closed. Thankfully I’ve found this fine place.

ZippyBot got the job done by sending both a DM and email.

Thanks and I’ll see you out there.

For all the newcomers, Demigodrick & co do a fantastic job of looking after us all in our little corner.

For UK users, you may be better off at feddit.uk though. This instance has opted to geoblock UK (on browsers at least - apps and instance federation currently unaffected) due to the requirements of the OSA. Worth a mention.

I keep an alt on feddit.uk but still use this as my main. Where allowed, it is good practice to keep an alt elsewhere and occasionally copy your community subscriptions over to it. Saves a lot of time and panic if a lemm.ee situation arises again.

Oh, and welcome!

Thanks for welcoming us lemm.ee refugees! I picked lemmy.zip because of how similar both instances are managed. Sad to see .ee go, but happy to be here!

Thank you for the prompt application approval and warm welcome.

Any chance you could share how many new sign-ups you've seen since the lemm.ee announcement? Just curious, no worries if you can't.

Glad to be here. Thanks for welcoming us lemm.ee refugees.

Welcome everyone! .zip has an amazing admin team and excellent monthly updates. I landed here pretty fast after leaving R and have never felt any reason to set up an account anywhere else. If you like it after a few months, you should donate - I imagine a few hundred more active users might be some increase to resource needs.

Yet another lemm.ee refugee checking in. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Another lemm.eefuge here. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Lemm.ee shutting down was so unexpected for me, thank you everyone involved in taking us in.

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!

Another lemm.ee refugee here (even if I'm a lurker), thanks for welcoming us! <3

Great message !

I liiiiiive!

Thanks for hosting me!

I'm not transferring anything over. I'll rediscover things instead. Seems more fun. .ee gave me a chance to learn Lemmy. .Zip can be home.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!

Lemm.ee was really a fantastic place, while losing it is heartbreaking to me, I fully understand the admin team reasons and I wish them all the best in their lives and future endeavors.

I can never thank them enough for what they've done for us, I hope they'll see this thread.

I chose Lemmy.zip because it seemed to me the most similar in policies and moderation, I'll do my best to make it my new home :)

Thanks for the warm welcome. Sad to see ee go, but look forward to taking part in this instance.

Quick question before I apply for an account:

How does this instance feel about pineapple on pizza?

Hello! Just joined from lemm.ee, happy to be here! Once I get settled in I plan on donating to help keep server maintenance. I understand the value in decentralized platforms, and wish I had done so with lemm.ee (which wasn't their problem, it was moderation, but I digress).

I look forward to seeing familiar usernames here! 😁

Hey, I'm another refugee, thanks for let me in

oh boy yeah, it's me the #1927397 or something of the lemm.ee refugees, yeah. thanks btw~ hope ya guys survive more months!

Thanks for welcoming the refugees with such open arms! We appreciate it!

Yet another lemm.ee refugee, thanks for taking us in! Can't wait to start my new home here ☺️

Hey, thanks for welcoming us in.

I'm having a little trouble on-boarding. Anytime I try to import my settings via JSON in the Import/Export Settings box, I get the following error: "Please wait a few minutes before trying to import or export settings again." The error was thrown on the first attempt and has been the same for a couple days. Happens in both Firefox and Chrome.

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