I don't see a thread in this community yet, so I thought I'd make a post. Where should this community be moved to?

Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!
Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.
RULES:
Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:
- Messes
- Children
- Biological... byproducts
- Bigotry
Do not be a jerk.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.
- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

I wonder if Lemm.ee admins can somehow lock all communities right before going offline so that users aren't mislead and try to make posts that will never federate.
As long as the new home isn't on an extremist instance, I'll go to wherever we find refuge.
Edit: why is the instance shutting down? I missed the memo
Iirc the admins are burnt out
Ah. I can't blame them. A normal website is a lot to maintain. I can't even imagine what toll a social media site would take on mental health. Kiddos to them for maintaining it as long as they did!
How about feddit.org? It's also European and already gets a lot of traffic
I think it’s a bit of a controversial instance because they apply german cesnorship laws notably to do with israel palestine.
I know this won’t affect this specific community, but people might not be too keep on the idea of feddit.org in general for that reason.
(I don’t blame feddit.org admins, I’m not the one at legal risk)
I fully understand and I'm not happy about it either. I'd love to hear it if there is a better option in the EU, but it seems like we'll have to rely on the Germans (for European autonomy and Lemmy).
FWIW, I think the feddit.org admins are handling the situation very well.
