With the announcement that lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30th, this community will unfortunately need a new home. Do you have a place in mind, @darakan@lemm.ee ?

    As of right now, I don’t have any particular instances in mind. It all has felt quite sudden. There are other things I want to figure out as well such as finding a way to transfer existing posts to the new community.

    My immediate goal would be to try to get this move done within the next few days so we can have as much of the remaining month to redirect people coming here to the new server.

    I’d like this to be the post where the community can discuss where they’d like to move. Do you have any preferences?

      I learned today that Piefed potentially makes community migrations easier, particularly in regards to transferring existing posts as well. The mod of the !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee community may be taking that route, so you may be able to contact them to see how it goes.

      If you’d rather stick to a lemmy based instance, Sopuli.xyz is (in my opinion) quite an excellent medium sized general purpose instance that’s been around a while, and seems to have solid active admins that update to the latest lemmy version quickly. Its server is based in Finland.

      Lemmy.zip is similarly sized to Sopuli, and is also a general purpose instance, though with a focus on PC gaming and tech. Not sure where they’re based.

      If you’d prefer a smaller instance, Lemmy.cafe has a solid admin (though it’s only run by him, so maybe not as resilient to the bus factor). I think the server is based in the UK. I migrated two of my communities there many months ago, and it seemed to work out well.
