Meta (lemm.ee)

YOU DID THIS TO US!!!!

In all seriousness, I'm sorry your community is going away. What kind of stuff was it for? Radio as in AM and FM? Ham? Frequencies for radio waves? Aliens?

Let me know where you end up and I'll subscribe! I finally convinced my wife to join Lemmy on .ee. It is unfortunate that she'll have to pick a new instance, but I get it why the effort outweighs the benefit of running an instance.

Edit This was also my first instance after reddit. I donated a few months ago to help with what I could. I, too, will miss it. As far as instances went, this one matched my personality the closest. Censorship was light but fair. Only now do I realize that it might have been a lack of admin intervention that made that possible!

You don't necessarily want to just ask for volunteers as that's a great way to summon exactly the kind of people you don't want to put in charge of online communities. The best way is usually to notice people who are already part of the community and consistently make positive contributions, then ask for their help. If none of those people want to, though, you're stuck.

they have, not long ago.

They did, 4 month ago

The people that are most willing to help are generally the least likely to help, especially when it comes to content moderation.

(my local version of the recruitment thread, in case the original lemm.ee post link becomes inaccessible)

Honestly, me too. I wouldn't mind taking on some /c/, but I've got a bad moderation record (banned in places, removed comments in others......) but I can be better and can take this place with sincerity rather than a place to vent my autistic annoyances in the worst ways possible. I've been here for 2 years and I wouldn't want this - what we have - to go away.

Can we please have a post where /c/ that are struggling to moderate could ask for help? Hell, we could even do it monthly or every 2 months. Just gather ever /c/ that is struggling and ask for vols.

I also wish the best for the admins and mods

I was waiting for piefed to develop a little bit more ig this is the best opportunity now

Here here. This was a special place and I'm glad it existed and I was part of it, too. I wish the admin(s) nothing but the best and hope they stay on Lemmy as one of us reg. users!

Your account will still exist, but you won’t be able to use it. So you should probably make an alt on another server.

I’d recommend maybe https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ (similar but explicitly political unlike lemmee) https://lemmy.cafe/ (similar but defederated from more instances)

Someone in another thread suggested lemmy.zip and lemmy.today as having similar defederation policies as lemm.ee. That's probably where I'll go since I like being able to see pretty much all lemmy instances. Most of the ones that have been suggested in the replies to your post so far appear to defederate more than lemm.ee. I can't tell for sure on piefed.social since their /instances format is pretty different than lemmy's.

!casualconversation@lemm.ee is a big one.

Yes, the Movies community is very active and is the best place on Lemmy if you want to discuss films or the film industry.

lemm.ee is one of the biggest instances. yes, there are communities and all of them will be lost.

is this trolling, or are you serious?

!movies@lemm.ee, !casualconversation@lemm.ee, !television@lemm.ee

We are going to organize the migration in the coming days.
