It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren’t going to be dead in less than a month.
Edit: Sorry to lemm.ee users if this is how you found out, but this is real: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884
You’ll need to join another instance to keep posting: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
You have until June 30th, 2025, so you have 19 days.
Wait can I post?
I don’t know if you can. May you post?
Serious answer
You should be able to post until June 30th I think.
Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughin' as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you And Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the right side of life::Cheery whistling intensifies::

I have already moved to another instance and I was pretty new on Lemmy as a whole. I think I created my account about a month ago.
So long.
And thanks for all the fish.
It’s been real.
am i going to lose all my posts and comments
okay good thing my songs of the day will remain. guess im moving to lemmy.world, whenever i find the time to power on my laptop
Intersteller for ios supports piefed kinda now, still buggy for notifications but piefeds a good move too
Sticking around to the last day. Love you mods. Still haven’t picked an instance. Not sure if there’s another instance run like lemm.ee
Thinking dbzero, lemmy.zip, or shitjustworks for now
Idk I’m on lemmy.world and it seems fine? I think it’s just the default for most people since it was one of the earliest if not the first instance, would have to look it up.
The .world TDL makes it sound universal and it didn’t get a reputation as THE place for Mao cultists or whatever like .ml did. So lemmy.world isn’t the center of the lemmyverse but it is in the middle.
Im a .ee refugee on shitjustworks , its just not the same… and i joinee few months ago
It will never be the same again :(
🥲

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not hype about moving from a great instance, but I feel this has been a great demonstration of why the federation is a good idea. All in all, migrating has been a fairly smooth experience, and most communities are either on other places or are moving fairly structured. Previously, closure of services or enshitification has caused me to spend weeks to months hunting for new places to read. This has been a great experience in most ways, and I think I can live happily jumping from instance to instance like this for a few years until I give up and set up my own.
lemm.ee be real. your instance is fucked.
onto the next one.
but that’s the beauty of the fediverse… you can’t stop us all.
one for all, all for one
Can you transfer your account to a different instance yet?
Partially, at least not what I use regularly. The account settings has a system for exporting settings, communities and block lists. You cant really retroactively move comments and posts to have been made by another user, but making a post on both the old and new users claiming eachother should propagate to other instances and be archived correctly.
Also, old content won’t be gone. It’ll still be around. Hell, people can still even reply to stuff. Inactive lemm.ee communities won’t have new comments propagate to instances past where the original commenter is from, but still!
What happens if I don’t change ?
You won’t be able to log in, post, comment, etc., with this account. Basically, the website lemm.ee is going to be gone forever. Lemm.ee is how you do stuff in the Fediverse. The rest of the Fediverse will still be up, and the instances you interacted with will have copies of your posts and comments, but your account will otherwise be dead.
So you probably do want to change instances.
we welcome everyone.
we’re kind of that open-minded server (and country). where the internet reigns free, since the dawn of existence.
I think you will simply not be able to log in.

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.
I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.
For those looking where to head, here’s where I picked.
It was my first Lemmy love.
You never forget your first
For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:
- Similar defederation policy
- Runs the latest version of lemmy
- Defederated from Threads
Others moved to piefed.social.
Be seeing you soon,
Thanks to the lemm.ee admins O7
So what’s the difference between that and .world? Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but I don’t see any “about us” pages for these Lemmy servers
Scroll down to the bottom of both instances’ home pages using the default lemmy UI. You’ll see the version of lemmy they use. You’ll also see a link labeled as Legal, which contains most of the instance’s policies. The Instances link will show you what instances they are federated and defederated with. The modlog can also give you some insight on what’s happening on the instance. Combine that with all the other information on their sidebars and you’ll get a rough idea of how different they are managed.
It also helps if you’ve been on lemmy for a while because you would’ve directly experienced or witnessed any issues or controversies those instances have been involved with.
Join us! Join the .zip!
lemm.ee in to lemmy.zip 😤
