Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn't get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.

I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don't even know if it's worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I've only had the idea not the motivation.

Refugee families 🚣

i also had to move instances and the estonian language community. (to lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz, lemmy.blahaj.zone might be defederated from it)

It's 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Well... it's 10 before midnight here. I'm pretty sure a bit east from me it's the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don't know where lemm.ee was located.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Estonia, so it's already the 30th there

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Ah. My instance reports the last activity from lemm.ee from 45mins ago... So that'd be June 30th, 00:14 Estonian time. And the main page forwards to join-lemmy.org now. Looks like the shutdown to me.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

well yes, i am estonian

[-] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago

I wasn't affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

That’s pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

oh, now it does

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Not really, the admins and just about every active community on there announced a month ago that they were shutting down.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I think op was saying it's interesting that it redirects rather than just an error

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it's time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country's lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

db0 way of managing the community is great but PieFed is a lot better by what I'm noticing and they dont have a PieFed instance. quokk.au is close to that if you want to jump ship to PieFed meanwhile

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It's pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

True story I actually meant to switch to .zip and I had both it and dbzer0 open in tabs for a few days (deciding between them) and on d-day for .ee I opened one and signed in and did the verification... and then realized where I was. And actually I'm happy with my accidental choice. It's rad here.

Done did their final sudo docker compose down

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

… as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

i used to be on .world but quickly went to .ee then i wanted to switch like you and was looking at db0 but im more interested in PieFed and they have no PieFed instance yet. quokk.au is close to a db0 equivalent (not really but its an anarchist instance too) meanwhile

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

it still show up on search engine results lol i wonder hows that gonna work out now when people click to see a post and see its been shutdown

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Same, it was a good instance.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

quokk.au is nice too if you want to use PieFed instead since db0 has no PieFed instance yet

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I'm not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*^

^*^ - timezone dependent but +/-24hours.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Same. at least users of lemm.ee were given a lot of notice in advance so they could prep

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Bummer - sucks to lose a good server

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

and the estonian community was on there too, and my account on there.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
