I also recently noticed a community that didn’t seem aware of the shutdown: https://lemm.ee/post/67257681
Example of another user not being aware: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47084070/19534404
Hmm, as long as the comms local to lemm.ee have moved and they all have a pinned post stating where they moved to, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
[email protected] is still open, I posted a message yesterday about the move, someone still made two posts here today.
That’s the real issue in this case IMO. It might just be they are busy. But really contributors like you that are very very active helping other users and contributors, I really appreciate the effort!
Yep just lazy. I’ve already joined another instance but not switched yet.
Good to know!
samesies!
see? hee hee
lol hi me!
The cuttlefish would be ashamed of this.
I’ve seen nothing about this until this post so thank you. I’m using Voyager on iOS. It has somehow shielded me from this reality. Which instance should I join instead? I chose lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate other instances as much as most others seem to do.
Lemmy.zip and dbzer0 get recommended often for having similar federation stances.
Happy to help!
https://lemmy.zip/ is a solid choice. Similar moderation policy than lemm.ee.

Lots of lemm.ee users moving there: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214
All good now, thanks again :)
Enjoy lemmy.zip!
Thanks friend, I’ll jump on lemmy.zip if they’ll have me. 2 million unique visitors in a month is more than respectable.
Make sure and subscribe to the “meta” community on whatever new instance you choose. That’s where stuff like this is gonna be posted, that’s where the lemm.ee shutdown was first announced.
I don’t subscribe to anything, I just browse All, sorted by top 6 hours. Every post I see is from a different micro community and instance so I never saw the point of curating a subscription list like I did on Reddit. Thanks anyways!
I do the exact same. The meta community is the only one I subscribe to. Makes it easier to check it periodically for announcements.
I asked this question a while ago here https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/37809092/18820669 and got some more-or-less helpful answers.
In my case, yes I am worried I’m lazy enough that I won’t switch to a new account in time.
Well it doesn’t really matter whether we switch now or on July 1st, I guess. Only good thing about doing it now is the possibility to export subscriptions and import them into the new account.
Switching now allows you to indeed troubleshoot the migration of your settings. It works most of the time, but it can be a bit clunky
I’m just lazy. I’ll swap over in the next few days. Probably…
I haven’t switched yet but I don’t see the point I have until the end of the month why would I bother doing the move now
Doing it before the 30th has the advantage of being able to export subscriptions and import them into the new account. I guess that’s not possible anymore when it shuts down.
As long as you’re aware, that’s good
If they can’t be bothered to read the stickied post that they all can see, then what else are you going to do for them?
The pinned post is only visible in the Local feed, not Subscribed or Local: https://lemm.ee/
It’s not guaranteed how some apps deal with it either.
Bringing it to the lemm.ee people you seem could be a way: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47084070/19534238
We definitely received several notices all over the 'verse. I’ve been checking out multiple alternatives. The only way someone is unaware of the closure is if they’re not active. In any case, what’s to worry about? One day, some inactive users will not be able to log in to a closed instance. They’ll have to join somewhere else.
It’s visible in All and in Local it’s only not visible in Subscribed if someone is not subbed to that comm.
I like your enthusiasm about it. I just don’t know what else could be done other than hounding everyone you see about it.
I’ll be honest, if I was off Lemmy for the week it was initially announced, I probably would have missed it. I haven’t seen any notification in my app, or come across the sticky in my normal browsing.
The only way you’d never see the sticky is if you only browse Subscribed and are not subbed to c/Meta. Every other browsing option shows the sticky.
I usually only use Subscribed
Some communities seem to be going on as if it’s normal. I notice this in the feeds when I find new lemm.ee communities I haven’t added.
Isn’t it normal for us to pretend everything is ok while the apocalypse is upon us?
Just being lazy setting up a new account, probably on zip
I’m checking in on missed messages
I did that and had nothing and got sad and removed my account from my apps.
Some people tend to get on Lemmy once every few days.
deleted by creator
I’m terrified
walls… closing in…
Sometimes I wonder. Could we send out a mass PM to everyone on lemm.ee about this?
Not sure how that would be perceived
“Just a reminder, your instance is shutting down in two days here’s a link to the post explaining. You can make an account on another instance and continue to interact with lemmy”
The other issue is that ideally we would need the lemm.ee admins to send that, but I’m not sure they want to interact with the site before it shuts down.
Yeah…
Maybe we just need to make a couple more front page memes about lemm.ee
That will do the trick. Warning you will not see bean memes past June 30.
