chore: set default instance to lemmy.zip, remove lemm.ee
Thank you for all your work!
Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip, seems like the transparency and the great monthly reports (https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863) paid back!
Wow, that's amazing 🥲
You deserve it, one of the best instances [and admins] by far.
Bit shit for UK users though since lemmy.zip is blocked for them. Not exactly going to encourage new users from here.
They should direct their concerns to the source of the issue - the ones that put UK in this predicament.
Realistically that is never going to happen. The biggest issue the fediverse has is onboarding. People just looking to try out a reddit alternative aren't going to bother emailing their fucking MP just because the default settings of an app won't let them sign up. They'll just give up and go elsewhere.
If we want to encourage growth, adding additional barriers isn't the way to do it.
It would be nice if it wasn't onto the zip domain.
I'd always be terrified to get a surprise zip bomb auto downloading
Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?
From another post
Lemmy.world is too big sh.itjust.works names contains "shit", which can deter users lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too dbzer0 is topic focused programming.dev is topic-centric blahaj is queer-focused discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone beehaw defederates LW and SJW infosec.pub is topic-centric aussie.zone is country-centric midwest.social is region-centrichttps://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391?scrollToComments=true

There's a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.
dbzer0 federates hexbear
lemm.ee and lemmy.zip also federate hexbear.
Ok, but why did they do this and why is it good?
Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.
Lemm.ee is shutting down, so they had to change. Lemmy.zip is the best choice
