Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdown
Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdown
I'm a happy lemm.ee user and a mod of a small community hosted there. I'm also subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemm.ee. Sadly, they have just announced that they will be shutting it down. I understand that I can open an account on another instance and subscribe to the same communities. For my own community, I can probably re-create it on my new instance and DM every subscriber. But how do I find all the communities from lemm.ee in their new places? I'd like some practical advice.
You're viewing a single thread.
The following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run:
- !television@lemm.ee -> !television@metacritics.zone
- !movies@lemm.ee -> !movies@metacritics.zone
- !artporn@lemm.ee -> !artporn@sfw.community
- !football@lemm.ee -> !football@soccer.forum
- !keitrucks@lemm.ee -> !keitrucks@gearhead.town
All these instances have been running for close to two years and are part of the "topic-specific" network of servers that I set up to help during the migration.
!Television@lemm.ee, !movies@lemm.ee and !Football@lemm.ee have pinned post where the community members can vote where they want to go.
At the moment, for !television and !movies, sopuli.xyz is the proposition with the most votes.
Edit: !artporn@lemm.ee also has a meta discussion post.
Should I add an entry for metacritics or should you?
Not sure, seems like I'm a flat earther anyway: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45833491/19186689
