alternatives to lemm.ee?
since lemm.ee is slated to be gone soon, does anyone know of any other instances with similar policies regarding defederation? i've always loved how i can follow communities basically wherever from here. it's why i chose here over elsewhere. i just wanna be able to curate my own feed, but most big instances seem to have all these complicated beefs that mean i'd lose access to some communities if i moved there.
If you want a similar approach to lemm.ee for defederation:
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!
Why both of them blocked lemm.ee lol.
Thanks for the suggestion!
.zip not available in the UK
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.
that sounds interesting, though i can't seem to find where to see their blocklist
Unfortunately they have large blocklist: https://piefed.social/post/816776#comment_6416768
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.
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
I really appreciate how well-ran piefed.social is!
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.
definitely not what i'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion
lemm.ee was the best and why i stayed on lemmy. this stinks. but so long and thanks for all the fish
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
Thanks!
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.
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.

It's not an alternative to lemm.ee and also the dev shits on federation.
And I still can't believe that they still haven't fucking implemented search yet. The search is literally Google search with a site:discuit.org constraint.

Definitely not in the same ballpark as Lemmy/Piefed
I have an old registration with lemy.lol. Any reason why it wouldn't work out?
https://lemy.lol/u/Sibshops - Turns out it doesn't support IPv6, so i went with https://lemmy.myserv.one/
