Archive.

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.

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.

That’s depressing news, but I get it.

Any suggestions on alternative instances?

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.

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.

[–] Altomes@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

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.

I was here for just a few days but thanks for providing the service

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

The content will still be visible on other instances that were federated, according to their post.
