MODERATORS
I’d stay away from Lemmy.today until they start to deal with obvious spammers on their instance.
One four-day old account there has almost five hundred posts last time I checked, which is more then a post every six minutes.
This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I typically browse through all and picked lemm.ee for their moderation style.
I'm sad to see it go.
I think both of those are perfect suggestions. Being a huge nerd with a strong moral compass, zip seemed to be one of the more similar to lemm.ee. I also heard piefed has some good policies and features!!
Thanks for the links!
What are their stances on threads federation? I always forget what the link to that site that records that is.
Why both of them blocked lemm.ee lol.
They did not, you're looking at linked instances
Oh, I thought all of them were banned instances 😅

Since the announcement thread is locked, thanks to the admins for their hard work.
I've moved to https://piefed.social/ - I really like the ability there to subscibe to whole topics rather than individual communities. But I'll miss lemm.ee's defederation policy.
Lemmy clients won't work there?
I am out of the loop with piefed (I don't even know if it is another Lemmy instance, it seems it is lol).
I am too attached to Summit and Voyager to stop using Lemmy at all.
It's a totally different project with a different codebase, but is Lemmy/activitypub compatible. Currently only one app supports it (interstellar), but more are coming (thunder).
but more are coming (thunder)
This is awesome. Seems like a great oportunity to finally look into piefed.
Any idea about an ETA?
No idea, I'm just regurgitating another person's comment who mentioned that thunder was in progress 😅
no worries, at least I know to look forward to it. Happy there is at least another app for it already, but I got used to Thunder
but more are coming (thunder).
I see, TIL, it seems like I can wait a bit then.
Hmm 404 code 🤔
that sounds interesting, though i can't seem to find where to see their blocklist
I chose lemmy.blahaj.zone since most of the communities I participate in are there and they have been nothing but kind to me. I highly recommend it for other queer people who want to have a peaceful community free of transphobia.
no Voyager, no deal. end of story. not changing apps again, it's the whole damn reason I'm on this site to begin with. piefed is worthless to me right now.

In general, while it's already huge, sh.itjust.works errs on the side of careful defederation. Afaik, none of the big instances are defederated at all.
It's pretty stable too. I think it's been down maybe twice for any significant length of time.
That's the two biggest factors in why it's where my main account is.
So, it's an option for sure.
A friend of mine is on lemdro.id, and he's able to reach all the usual instances. Same with dbzero, though they have a bit more focused set of policies. Both are very stable as well.
About the only instance that you'll run into trouble accessing from most is hexbear or whatever it's called now. All the other big/biggish ones are usually not defederated widely.
Hexbear is still called that. They were able to recover their domain after all. By my calculations, they appear to be in the top 10 largest lemmy instances by MAU, top 5 by number of accounts, and number 2 lemmy instance by number of posts, out of the regular user-driven (not automated cross-posting) instances, behind only lemmy.world.
Good to know.
If you're considering non-Lemmy instances, then I can recommend kbin.earth, it's a MBin instance that has a similar approach to the defederation
lemm.ee was the best and why i stayed on lemmy. this stinks. but so long and thanks for all the fish
I really appreciate how well-ran piefed.social is!
Joining in to the general thanks to the administration for running this instance. I migrated here from vlemmy I think? I don't even remember it's been forever in internet years. But lemm.ee is (soon was) good to be in. Sending the best wishes to the team.
Where will I go? Dunno. I'm eyeing .zip but also looking for other alternatives. Might reinvigorate my fedia presence in the meantime.
A question: is if recommended to unsub from local communities before lemm.ee sundowns?
A question: is if recommended to unsub from local communities before lemm.ee sundowns?
No, as those communities will announce where they go, and organize. Examples on !movies@lemm.ee and !Television@lemm.ee

Wait what's going on with lemm.ee? Do I have to make a new act? What about the local communities I follow?
Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.
You will need to create a new account on a new instance. You can export your current subscriptions, blocks, and favorited comments and posts by clicking on the Export JSON file in your profile settings page, which you can then use to import at your new instance. You'll need to export that file before the 30th.
To help find a new instance, check out this comment.
<3 thank you
You're welcome ^^
I wish you well finding a new home!
Oh and as for the local communities you follow, they will have to move as well, so be sure to check if there's a post saying where they'll go at some point.
Seems pretty prone to defederating other instances.
It defederated from Hexbear at least, so yes. I absolutely love that instance - I whole-heartedly recommend the admin team there, but if someone is looking for federation with instances such as that one, that is not what it is about.
It is a fantastic recommendation to make to someone coming in from Reddit.
