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.
There is now a Migration Mega Thread:
As for me, while lemm.ee is home, I’ve transferred my json to lemmy.ca. Sucks dick to lose an Estonian tld because I lived there, and first surfed the w3 there decades ago, but I do respect and appreciate me some Canadians.
lemm.ee until the servers are turned off from underneath me. Eesti igavesti!
It will be a community by community discussion. I mod a few lemm.ee communities, we’ll have separate polls in each of them.
Consider moving them to PieFed.
It’s more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.
It also supports community migration, where the old content (that the PieFed instance knows about) remains available but the community is now local to that instance instead of elsewhere.
Can you say which mod tools Piefed has that are missing from Lemmy?
Sure here’s a tour of the moderation features in PieFed

A big one that I don’t think is in this video is it hashed similar looking images and the Mod can ban them, this is useful to stop CSAM
One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.
On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.
I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.
Yeah I don’t get this argument either. The user reports content and I can see it, no matter which instance they’re using. Does Piefed have a fully automatic autobot that fights spammers and we don’t know about it? :)
I don’t think banning users by the keyword “88” or defederating from an instance because it has “peepo” logo and accusing them of being (possible) nazis is not that effective. Or at least prone to false-positives.
Though downvote statistics stuff looks good.
Many of these are already implemented in Lemmy, others are too controversial and wont be added (such as karma).
No need to get jealous. Lemmy will catch up eventually. /j
Does Voyager support PieFeed?
Don’t do that. Spread them out.
Piefed is an alternative software to lemmy, not a specific instance.
We’re talking about instances not software. I was talking about piefed.social specifically.
Piefed.social is not the only piefed instance.
We’re talking about instances not software. I was talking about piefed.social specifically.
That is like saying use lemmy and only meaning lemmy.ml and no where is it specified that you or the commenter meant piefed.social
Then take your issue up with @[email protected]
Well, the managed communities will pin posts and update their descriptions before the shut down happens, and those details will federate to every instance with users that subscribe to the communities.
The following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run:
- [email protected] -> [email protected]
- [email protected] -> [email protected]
- [email protected] -> [email protected]
- [email protected] -> [email protected]
- [email protected] -> [email protected]
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.
There is now a Migration Mega Thread:
[email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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
Usually the community mods should pin a post with the new link. In small communities it might be worth to contact the moderator directly to bring the shutdown to their attention.
Yeah, what Blaze said…
This is a huge pain in the ass, though… A shame they couldn’t keep Lemm.ee up…
