I also recently noticed a community that didn’t seem aware of the shutdown: https://lemm.ee/post/67257681
Yep just lazy. I’ve already joined another instance but not switched yet.
Good to know!
The cuttlefish would be ashamed of this.
Some communities seem to be going on as if it’s normal. I notice this in the feeds when I find new lemm.ee communities I haven’t added.
Isn’t it normal for us to pretend everything is ok while the apocalypse is upon us?
Just being lazy setting up a new account, probably on zip
I’ve seen nothing about this until this post so thank you. I’m using Voyager on iOS. It has somehow shielded me from this reality. Which instance should I join instead? I chose lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate other instances as much as most others seem to do.
Lemmy.zip and dbzer0 get recommended often for having similar federation stances.
Happy to help!
https://lemmy.zip/ is a solid choice. Similar moderation policy than lemm.ee.

Lots of lemm.ee users moving there: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214
Thanks friend, I’ll jump on lemmy.zip if they’ll have me. 2 million unique visitors in a month is more than respectable.
All good now, thanks again :)
Enjoy lemmy.zip!
Make sure and subscribe to the “meta” community on whatever new instance you choose. That’s where stuff like this is gonna be posted, that’s where the lemm.ee shutdown was first announced.
I don’t subscribe to anything, I just browse All, sorted by top 6 hours. Every post I see is from a different micro community and instance so I never saw the point of curating a subscription list like I did on Reddit. Thanks anyways!
I do the exact same. The meta community is the only one I subscribe to. Makes it easier to check it periodically for announcements.
I haven’t switched yet but I don’t see the point I have until the end of the month why would I bother doing the move now
As long as you’re aware, that’s good
Doing it before the 30th has the advantage of being able to export subscriptions and import them into the new account. I guess that’s not possible anymore when it shuts down.

The pinned post is only visible in the Local feed, not Subscribed or Local: https://lemm.ee/
It’s not guaranteed how some apps deal with it either.
Bringing it to the lemm.ee people you seem could be a way: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47084070/19534238
We definitely received several notices all over the 'verse. I’ve been checking out multiple alternatives. The only way someone is unaware of the closure is if they’re not active. In any case, what’s to worry about? One day, some inactive users will not be able to log in to a closed instance. They’ll have to join somewhere else.
I’ll be honest, if I was off Lemmy for the week it was initially announced, I probably would have missed it. I haven’t seen any notification in my app, or come across the sticky in my normal browsing.

I usually only use Subscribed
I browse all. My app will show it if I browse local.
I’m checking in on missed messages
I did that and had nothing and got sad and removed my account from my apps.
I just did again and found your reply :)
I’m just lazy. I’ll swap over in the next few days. Probably…
In my case, yes I am worried I’m lazy enough that I won’t switch to a new account in time.
Well it doesn’t really matter whether we switch now or on July 1st, I guess. Only good thing about doing it now is the possibility to export subscriptions and import them into the new account.
Switching now allows you to indeed troubleshoot the migration of your settings. It works most of the time, but it can be a bit clunky
Hmm, as long as the comms local to lemm.ee have moved and they all have a pinned post stating where they moved to, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
!lego@lemm.ee is still open, I posted a message yesterday about the move, someone still made two posts here today.
That’s the real issue in this case IMO. It might just be they are busy. But really contributors like you that are very very active helping other users and contributors, I really appreciate the effort!
I will use it until it stops working, and then I will grieve
I’m terrified
walls… closing in…

Not sure how that would be perceived
“Just a reminder, your instance is shutting down in two days here’s a link to the post explaining. You can make an account on another instance and continue to interact with lemmy”
The other issue is that ideally we would need the lemm.ee admins to send that, but I’m not sure they want to interact with the site before it shuts down.
That will do the trick. Warning you will not see bean memes past June 30.
Yikes
