Your contribution to the Fediverse and Lemmy was bigger than many users. You will be missed.

Who knows what the future has in store for us. Perhaps you'll be compelled to return to Lemmy in the future, perhaps not. Either way, I wish you well.

Oh bummer, that's me....

Thanks for letting me know, I'll end my recurring donation when it goes down.

I understand the lack of political nuance, and everything having to be hard right or hard left, but that's the way we have been programmed, and how our algorithms are programmed, something we have to accept because I honestly don't see the path to changing it.

I have offered to take over Lemmings.world, to preserve all the posts and users.

Ah. I just signed up! But that's just how the fediverse goes.

Thanks for offering the instance! I know hosting must be a crazy huge project!

The Threadiverse may have too many tankies and not enough active communities, but with Reddit becoming greedier and greedier by the day, it's the only viable alternative.

Blocking .ml, Hexbear, and Lemmygrad solves a lot of the tankie problem, but it could certainly still use more people to support non-news or politics communities.

I appreciate it. This has been a nice instance. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Sorry to hear you're shutting down. Thanks for helping Lemmy grow to what it is today.

Mastodon a bit better, at least less tankies.

I'm still fairly new here and haven't had much time to interact via this instance. But must say that the onboarding, which I initially had some trouble with, was quickly made smooth and friendly after a short chat exchange. I will remember you for that and hope you'll do great wherever you go next.

I'm sorry to hear it's going. I've really enjoyed using it, and you have administered it brilliantly. Thanks you for your time and effort, and good luck with whatever you do next.

Awh no, that's me, I'm lemming 😭 well, at least that's good opportunity to try piefed now. 

Bummer... thank you for keeping it going while you did.

Anyone have suggestions on where to go... all opinions appreciated; even the snarky ones....

Is anyone aware whether there’s any way to migrate a community to another instance keeping the subscribers?

Anyways, thanks for hosting the instance during all these years! And I appreciate giving a notice in advance!

Well damn. Just seeing this. I basically walked away for the same reasons a year ago, though mine's still online because I got talked into keeping Tesseract alive and needed an instance I could test against. You were one of the original Rexodous instances and probably helped me many times in the group chat getting mine up and going in the early days.

My instance is pretty well curated to get rid of the propaganda, violent rhetoric, and other undesirable aspects, so if you wanna pop in, you're free to sign up on mine (hell, I'd even let you be an admin). And since it's my own test instance (more or less anyway), if you wanna keep playing around with some of your fedi tools, you're welcome to. If not, and you never wanna see the place ever again, believe me, I totally get that.

Regardless, thanks for trying to build something better with us and sorry it didn't work out. I share the same frustrations you're expressing here.

rikudou…

Legend.

Thank you!! See you on another instance in a happy future!

Do you have another recommendation for an instance that won't ban me for saying something like "I think marijuana use should be strictly regulated."

Looks like the instance went down a bit earlier than expected

I've only just seen this.

Thank you for running this instance! Until it got blocked from the UK (I understand the reasons but it made it difficult to tell whether it was up or down, and is also the reason I've only just seen this post) it was my favourite place to host general communities.

Unless there's any update on this I will begin to migrate my communities elsewhere (probably db0).

It's been a really great instance! Thank you for your service to the fediverse!
