MODERATORS
Managing a federated network comes with a lot of responsibility.
It's not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.

Shiiiit. What's the easiest way to migrate all my communities quickly???
Go to your settings, and scroll down. Theres an export to json option. Just save it, and then you can imprt that file in your new account. Super easy.
Figuring out where to go is a little harder though.
Only bad thing is it doesn't migrate your posts and comments. Thankfully it does migrate your saved posts!

Just switched and it was buttery smooth
Oh wow I didn't realize that settings export included communities. That's great.

That’s depressing news, but I get it.
Any suggestions on alternative instances?
I started lemdro.id and we've got a couple other folks as admins too. Not too large an instance, but imo we have a similar philosophy to lemm.ee (although community creation is not enabled by default for users)

That is sad to hear. Thanks for the all the work admins.
Thanks for all your work, you ran a great instance and I appreciate all the effort you put into it
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.

What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?
The content will still be visible on other instances that were federated, according to their post.
