im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th
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.
Estonia, so it's already the 30th there
pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.
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.
Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.
well yes, i am estonian
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
That’s pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.
oh, now it does
interesting 🤔
Not really, the admins and just about every active community on there announced a month ago that they were shutting down.
I think op was saying it's interesting that it redirects rather than just an error
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?
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.

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

Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?
The admin team burned out
Bummer - sucks to lose a good server
and the estonian community was on there too, and my account on there.
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
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.
