It's ok I just don't like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn't do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.

its good but I feel like I ran into less not likable ppl on lemm.ee, maybe they were already blocked instancewide or something

Or maybe ppl here are more argumentative these days lol

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh I hear you…. I didn’t think about that. World is heavily moderated and switching to another instance opens me up to more aggressive personalities.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

How’s dbz?

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 22 hours 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.

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

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

Estonia, so it's already the 30th there

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago

well yes, i am estonian

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago

oh, now it does

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

interesting 🤔

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not really interesting. DNS changes don't propagate instantly. It's likely OPs DNS server was still pointing to the old server even though the domain redirect had already been set by the owners.

So you are the arbiter of interesting now?

There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What, centralisation has the opposite effect. It makes things worse. Imagine lemmy.world shutting down (the biggest instance), lemmy would be fucked.

Decentralisation is to be encouraged. So if an instance shuts down, it’s not the end of the world.

Like how basically all lemm.ee communities were migrated.

[–] Sackeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

When I say centralization I don't mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.

Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don't need several Twitter alternatives.
Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the "company" and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant "each software", that's more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
No but yes.
I'm not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
Mostly absolutely yes. I think I've seen it discussed a few times under "fediverse identity" or something like that.

[–] Sackeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative.

Having multiple versons of the same type of platform artificially divides the Fediverse and makes it more likely that they'll split along ideological lines

Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.

While it would be awesome if we could figureout unique formats of social media, everything has basically been done, Myspace, Facebook and Linkton are the format of keep up with your friends.

Twitter and BlueSky are the basic format for literally "see whats trending"

Reddit and Lemmy are the basic format of Curated Community Content.

Youtube is the basic video sharing platform.

Tiktok algorithmic video sharing and platform which actually improves on youtube.

It would be really hard to fine a way to make a truly unique social media site but would be awesome

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 2 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] million@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The admin team burned out

[–] million@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bummer - sucks to lose a good server

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] iso@lemy.lol 5 points 1 day ago

Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
