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.

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

Done did their final sudo docker compose down

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] kai@quokk.au 1 points 8 hours 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

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours 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.

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

[–] kai@quokk.au 1 points 8 hours ago

if you want an anarchist instance on PieFed theres quokk.au while db0 hasnt joined PieFed yet

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 22 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.

[–] kai@quokk.au 2 points 8 hours 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

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Same, it was a good instance.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day 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 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)
[–] kai@quokk.au 2 points 8 hours 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

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours 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.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 day 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.

https://piefed.social/post/816659

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 10 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

Estonia, so it's already the 30th there

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

pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 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.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.

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

Bad like brian over here. Signed up for lemme just to be kicked off the first server. Hopefully it’s an extremely rare event. If world goes down, I’m out.

I hear Digg is close to launching its beta or whatever..

Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.

[–] kai@quokk.au 2 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] trk@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] million@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] million@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bummer - sucks to lose a good server

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

[–] iso@lemy.lol 6 points 2 days ago

Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
