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.

Damn, it was like the 2/3rd most active instance

https://lemmyverse.net/ to search for a new instance

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Oh man I had no idea how popular that instance was. That’s really sad :(((

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

complete tangent: I see lemmy.world is listed there, but anyone knows why .world doesn't appear on join-lemmy.org's list of servers?

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I noticed that too, but the observer and the explorer in the same page show them, so...ok...🧐

Maybe they're trying to divide the load among different servers, so they don't serve .world as the obvious default choice.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Actually the observer and explorer links redirect to external sites (fediverse.observer and lemmyverse.net respectively)

It would be odd to single out just the biggest server instead of letting people decide themselves; I have a feeling this exclusion is to do with .world's users having a beef with the folks running .ml 😅 (and vice verse - join-lemmy.org seems like the official Lemmy site, so ran by the .ml ppl)

Sad day. Lemm.ee was by far my favorite instance and my home. Thanks admins for the hard work.

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

.ee was my second favorate general instance after .ml I will be very sad to see it go

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

After .ml?

Then how can you even like lemm.ee and its right-wing mods?

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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,

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.
Cheers

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

Cheers to you too, this was truly a plesent discussion, atleast on my end.

[–] Nelots@lemmy.zip 18 points 6 days ago

Farewell Lemm.ee, it was a good two years.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lemm.ee has been an amazing instance.

Loved the transparency, mods, community, and lemm.ee is easy to type out and remember

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

wasnt enough to save the instance, they were probably running as a skeleton crew ever since they asked the need ofr admin.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Text is very small and easily compressible, it's more images that you need to worry about generally speaking.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Thank you kindly!

[–] gronjo45@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

Thank you so much for providing my home instance. Have enjoyed Lemm.ee the past two years.

Can/How do you Import/Export your comments/replies?

[–] Neuromorph@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How did you attempt to recruit administrator, and why didn't it work out?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

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.
