The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.
You must log in or register to comment.
The double edged sword of not defederating from other instances is that the worst instaces that most block will use your space to keep shoveling their bullshit to more people.
It creats a lot of extra work for the admins/mods
How did you attempt to recruit administrator, and why didn’t it work out?
i heard most of them stepped down, and they did ask for admins months ago, around the time i got reddit banned. im guessing because there was no news it was a bad sign since.

You’re the problem
That’s depressing news, but I get it.
Any suggestions on alternative instances?
lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.
Interesting. What do you like about it?
Great admin team, public finances, reasonable rules, good defederation policy, data is hosted in the EU.
Thanks!
The original lemmy.ml
Unfortunately, I had to move my community from there after some admin started interfering with the content.
Sad to hear this. I liked the people I’ve met from lemm.ee and the hands-off approach to defederation that the instance had.
double edged sword unfortunately. this allows ml and hexbear to infest the instance with thier users.
In this situation, a user on lemm.ee would have to export their settings and create a new account elsewhere, right? Do their comments and post histories get exported too? I joined Lemmy only a month ago; this is the first time seeing an instance go down, so I’d appreciate it if someone here could clarify that.

Yes
Do their comments and post histories get exported too?
No, but if I understand it correctly, they will live on in other servers that were federated at the time they were posted.
Oh I didn’t realise that how it worked.
Doesn’t that mean that the hosting requirements for every instance are just going to become unfeasibly large as time goes on, or do the files get cleared out after a couple of years?
Text is very small and easily compressible, it’s more images that you need to worry about generally speaking.
Thank you kindly!
I have mostly just lurked here and wanted to come out of my shell to say thank you, admins, for all your hard work on this instance. You did a great job running this instance and I’ll miss being the goblin hiding in the corner here.
Best of luck with your next endeavors.
We’re in Lemmy.world but I’m sure they got the message.
Oof owie, my instance
This suuuucks. We need another big, general instance that doesn’t defed everyone. But I get it, being an admin sounds like a lot of work or I would do it lol. Plus I don’t have pace for a server around here. Or do most admins just buy space from the cloud?

Is yours one? I saw other people suggest Lemmy.zip, mander I think is one, and lemdr.oid or something like that.
The problem is that they tend to be smaller, which means harder to find.
im guessing competing with something like .world is pretty hard, since world has most of the content and admins, but they apparently blocked alot of communities, most of which sounds illegal or potentially illegal,but piracy is a wierd thing.
Oh nice! Thanks!
Hey Realtalk you ought to fuck right off
That’s a pleasant idea: best ways on going about that?
hey, real talk. if the users weren’t so obnoxious maybe the admins wouldn’t be burnt-the-fuck-out…
Really giving everyone a prime example of that, thanks!
Unlike you, right?
do I seem burnt out?
if the users weren’t so obnoxious
You realize that with a federated system they’re not just handling their own users right? They could defederate from the servers that host users causing issues, but that also means all of their users cannot interact with all those communities, without a choice. Lemmy currently only provides a sledgehammer when they really just need more fine tools.
Exactly this. lemm.ee wasn’t ever really into defederation either.
Thanks for all your work, you ran a great instance and I appreciate all the effort you put into it
Can/How do you Import/Export your comments/replies?
If I know correctly, it is not possible to export posts, comments, replies.
What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?
You have to migrate your community to a new instance, and notify the users about its new location. Old content from lemm.ee will remain accessible.
The content will still be visible on other instances that were federated, according to their post.
Sad day. Lemm.ee was by far my favorite instance and my home. Thanks admins for the hard work.
.ee was my second favorate general instance after .ml I will be very sad to see it go
After .ml?
Then how can you even like lemm.ee and its right-wing mods?
I have never spent significant time on their instance, user wise, they tend to be less likely to scream that I am from .ML and so an evil tankie.
I spent more time there and ‘evil tankie’ was among the lesser (of many many) insults.
Like nazi, bcs in their propagandised brain that is the same thing.
They are on horseshoe level.Im going to be honest with you, the worst instance I generally interact with is .world, I have never made a secret I am a communist, see username, but that is by far the worst instnce in my experience both of if I say anything “evil tankie” and they are also one of the worst at the evidence for me being a communist is not I have red army, but because I am from.ml
I admit this might be skewed because .world is bigger, but people from .ee tended to be more amenable,
Personal experience I guess.
.world is indeed not much better.
When recently .ml got federated again here and the reactions were mostly negative to extremely hostile.
But it’s good that we’re here, for some balance and post facts and opinions they otherwise don’t see.
CheersCheers to you too, this was truly a plesent discussion, atleast on my end.
Thanks, admins, your efforts and patience have been greatly appreciated.
