I'm a happy lemm.ee user and a mod of a small community hosted there. I'm also subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemm.ee. Sadly, they have just announced that they will be shutting it down. I understand that I can open an account on another instance and subscribe to the same communities. For my own community, I can probably re-create it on my new instance and DM every subscriber. But how do I find all the communities from lemm.ee in their new places? I'd like some practical advice.

As for me, while lemm.ee is home, I’ve transferred my json to lemmy.ca. Sucks dick to lose an Estonian tld because I lived there, and first surfed the w3 there decades ago, but I do respect and appreciate me some Canadians.

lemm.ee until the servers are turned off from underneath me. Eesti igavesti!

It will be a community by community discussion. I mod a few lemm.ee communities, we'll have separate polls in each of them.

Consider moving them to PieFed.

It's more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 20 points 1 week ago

It also supports community migration, where the old content (that the PieFed instance knows about) remains available but the community is now local to that instance instead of elsewhere.

Does Voyager support PieFeed?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't do that. Spread them out.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Piefed is an alternative software to lemmy, not a specific instance.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We're talking about instances not software. I was talking about piefed.social specifically.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Piefed.social is not the only piefed instance.

That is like saying use lemmy and only meaning lemmy.ml and no where is it specified that you or the commenter meant piefed.social

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 week ago

Then take your issue up with @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social

Well, the managed communities will pin posts and update their descriptions before the shut down happens, and those details will federate to every instance with users that subscribe to the communities.

[–] gon@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, what Blaze said...

This is a huge pain in the ass, though... A shame they couldn't keep Lemm.ee up...

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Usually the community mods should pin a post with the new link. In small communities it might be worth to contact the moderator directly to bring the shutdown to their attention.

The following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run:

All these instances have been running for close to two years and are part of the "topic-specific" network of servers that I set up to help during the migration.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

!Television@lemm.ee, !movies@lemm.ee and !Football@lemm.ee have pinned post where the community members can vote where they want to go.

At the moment, for !television and !movies, sopuli.xyz is the proposition with the most votes.

Edit: !artporn@lemm.ee also has a meta discussion post.

[–] rglullis@communick.news 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Should I add an entry for metacritics or should you?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Not sure, seems like I'm a flat earther anyway: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45833491/19186689
