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)
It's 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.
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.
Done did their final sudo docker compose down
Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right
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.
Howβs zip so far?
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
if you want an anarchist instance on PieFed theres quokk.au while db0 hasnt joined PieFed yet
Oh I hear youβ¦. I didnβt think about that. World is heavily moderated and switching to another instance opens me up to more aggressive personalities.
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.
β¦ as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.
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
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.
Howβs dbz?
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
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.
I miss it.
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
Same, it was a good instance.
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
Thatβs pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.
oh, now it does
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
quokk.au is nice too if you want to use PieFed instead since db0 has no PieFed instance yet
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
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.
Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
