Yes. It’s shutting down at the end of the month.
Aaaargh, I can already feel my power waning... All these moments will be lost in time, and so on.
On a lighter and more serious note, though, thanks to all the admins and mods that made this ride possible. You are the best.
Not enough funds?
Not enough admins. Too many trolls.
I had no idea my instance had such a shoddy rep!
Not a shoddy rep, just that it grew so large so fast with not enough admin volunteers. All of the big ones are constantly getting hit by these sad losers who need therapy
So then won’t this problem just move to another instance if .ee closes?
No, because most of the other instances are probably more prepared.
not really, lemmyee was more defederated, so it allowed basically anyone. the other ones have blocked off some of the problematic instances. ,ML, hexbear, grad users were all becoming too common recently i had to block them.
yea the purges from reddit, accounts for the sudden jump in users. and many of them were indiscriminately banned, plus now you have the increase of the trolls.
Not necessarily @lemm.ee trolls; trolls from other instances starting shit in @lemm.ee communities, and they just don't have enough admins to handle things

admins got burnt out from stress, and yes its also due to the significant uptick in trolls, and propagands spreading, hard to control all of it, with no automatic filters, like reddit.
Automatic filters? What are those?
reddit and subreddits have filters that automatically remove content, and now reddit has AIs to automatically ban people and not give you a reason.
The part that sucks about all this is that there aren't any tools to fully migrate my account over to a new instance. Comments and posts will be left behind, but at least they'll hopefully remain federated for as long as possible so I can look back at them in the future.
I don't understand what migrating an account could do besides making new, duplicate posts & comments and deleting the old ones, which would mess up comment chains and spawn even more duplicate posts with no comments on them than we already have.
It would amazing if when importing, all the posts, would show up linking to them, just that and nothing more.
But I think this was discussed and its not going to happen.
Brings up the question if there should be a migrate community option on the back-end
Piefed actually has this. Shame lemmy doesn’t.
I am reborn 🙌
Like a beautiful phoenix, you rise again from the ashes!
Welcome back
I think my new instance won't appreciate me migrating FuckableCars here...
The thing I like most about lemm.ee is the defederation policy. Supposedly lemmy.zip is similar in that regard so that’s where I ended up.
i went on lemmy today, and considered .ca even if im not a canadian. i made one for world, but dint realize they blocked alot of the nasty instances.

I’m now on a few different instances. I was not expecting do have to do something like this, but I understand.
Thank you very much to the admins and mods of lemm.ee. I was on there for at least a year or so, and I will definitely miss the open federation they had.
What happens to the communities and posts from those communities. Are they archived and accessible, or do they disappear once the instance goes down?
The whole thing made me paranoid so I made accounts on multiple instances.
I made an account on sh.itjustworks yesterday, but the import account details hasn't worked (...yet?)
