In one week, Lemm.ee will shutdown

If you are still looking for an alternative, https://lemmy.zip/ is a solid choice. Similar moderation policy than lemm.ee.

Monthly reports: https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863

Lots of lemm.ee users moving there: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214

If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws), https://feddit.uk/ is a good option.

You can export your subscriptions, blocks and saves from "Settings - Import/Export settings" and then import them on your new account.

I just want to say that I have moved from ee to zip and the export-import function is easy and it worked flawlessly.
- Thank you for sharing!
- .zip seems to have more timeouts and actions need to be retried 🤔
If you want to try out PieFed (An alternative front-end to the Fediverse) instead of Lemmy you can check out quokk.au or piefed.social
- Other honorable mentions:
  https://piefed.ca/
  https://piefed.zip/
  https://feddit.online/
  https://piefed.blahaj.zone/
  
  Any of these having similar moderation and federation policy as lemm.ee?

Wait why?

gonna miss you, lemmee.
I've migrated this account to db0 and making copy accounts at a few other places such as sopuli.
The only thing I'm missing is how to migrate my posts, can't find a way to do that.
And, gonna be real:
Gonna miss lemm.ee. It has a je ne sais quadracoptêre that made it feel a quite cozy community, somehow.
- Posts are federated already, so you can't migrate them. The content from your old account is already on the new server, just under your old account name. Importing posts to a new account, especially if they "posted" from that new account isnt possible.
  It would be great to have a "migrated/archived" tab on an account that would bring over posts/content in a local only way that was just attached to that account, but that's not a feature lemmy has.
Thanks for the good times lemm.ee. Just got my zip account today.
If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws)[...]
That's news for me. Anyone know what law(s) exactly they have problems with?

Well, it's been an, uh, interesting trial of Lemmy these past few months but I ultimately don't think this place is a viable replacement for reddit. Too many weirdos, too many extremist instances, communities distributed to the point of total dilution, and instances just disappearing when some dude is sick of it. Goodbye lemm.ee and Lemmy, good luck.
- Based on your moderation history, seems like you interacted with Hexbear. They are quite unique.
- A lot of hive mind, too.
I’m not 100% how this all works. I use the Voyager app on iOS with Lemm.ee. Do I need to switch apps as well as make a new account?
- Not at all. To create an account on a new instance with voyager:
  Click on your account in the bottom center.
  click “Accounts” on the top left.
  Click “Edit” on the top right
  Click on the + at the top left
  It will let you create a new account on any server you wish and use it with voyager.
  For example, I’m on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, and I am communicating to you with voyager. But I also sometimes communicate with my alt @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com and I access that from voyager too.
  
  Thank you so much!
Point your new account/instance by adding it on your lemm.ee bio! So others can find you.
See you around fellow lemmeers.
I'm just leaving this whole platform.
It's nothing special. Every fucking idiot you've ever met in your life on Reddit is coalescing here.
Have you had a meaningful conversation here? An informative one? I've been here 2+ years and I can honestly say no.
Have you seen a link that isn't effectively a complete recycling of what you already know to be true?
It's the same recycled bullshit you have seen for the last 20 years.
The whole format of a "democratic" link dump site is fundamentally broken. I see that now.

  Sad to see them go
- Sounds like you’re going through a lot. Hope you can find somewhere to outlet your emotions.
  
  Nice of you
Is there a list of that shows where the main communities on lemm.ee are moving to?

  Thank you!
Farewell to the best Lemmy instance!
I think I should be trying Lemmy.zip instance. Any feedback on that?
- Quite a few in this thread
I already moved to Lemmy.zip (they just accepted my account), I exported the lemm.ee settings from the configuration page to lemmy.zip, but I'd also like to backup my upvoted and saved posts (I am interested more in the latter), any ideas?
EDIT: nvm, it seems they were exported? it took a little to make them appear, maybe upvoted content is a no-no then.
Moved over to zip no problem, but I can’t find a way to export my comments/posts. I know I can access my profile via zip but will that be cached and available after the servers are shut down?
- What do you mean by "export my comments/posts"? You can't migrate your posts from one account to the other if that's the question.
  Your account on zip will be a new one just with imported settings and communities you follow
  
  I’d like a list of links to them so I can at least go view them on instances they’ve federated to at some time.
