Which instance did you switch to? Have you considered PieFed? Could you bring your communities with you? Do you miss it?
And the others, do you miss lemm.ee communities that died out where you couldn’t find a replacement for?
I considered PieFed, but ended up sticking with Lemmy. I think Lemmy feels less complicated, there’s just less features, which I prefer. No hate for PieFed, of course, I think it’s awesome!
db0 has been great! I couldn’t bring my communities with me, but it’s fine… I didn’t really have much anyway.
I do miss lemm.ee, because their very generalist maxims really resonated with me. I really don’t think there’s a true spiritual substitute.
I joined dbzer0 for mostly the same reasons. It has the same laissez-faire defederation policies as Lemm.ee, it’s a great community of like-minded progressive anarchists, etc. I had already been considering switching prior to the announcement of lemm.ee closing down just because some frequent-posting Lemmy community members were there like Blaze and the man dbzer0 himself. The actual transition itself was trivial, I exported my community subscriptions and user tags and imported them to the new account without issue. I’m very happy with the result.
Yeah, the transition process is pretty much seamless, if you aren’t a mod.
I think Blaze actually posts from PieFed now? Not sure…
That’s what I’ve been seeing as well. I just first heard of dbzer0 from their handle when they were posting from there.
I diversified and wound up making a bunch of accounts. If I am being honest, I forgot about the whole .ee transition until this post, so I guess all in all pretty well.
It sucks that I ended up losing most of a series of gaming progress image posts I was doing, in a particular community. I got all the images re-uploaded to my new home, and edited all the original posts, but quite a lot of those edits never got federated properly, so now the posts just have dead image links.
Been pretty great, otherwise.
Hey, I know you! I really like your posts! I don’t comment very often in them (though I should, because you play some banger games), but they always make me smile.
I mean, it’s only one banger game. You sure you’re not thinking of the other guy?
TIL you were two different people! 😄 don’t I look silly now
I should have increased my next-to-nil activity on my fedia account but noooo!
Instead thanks to some recommendations I ended up on db0 (also on sopuli but I barely use that one). It’ seems like a fun instance and you get to write your own essay on why Leftism is Good while you’re at it. Alas, I lost some posts on lemm.ee that I had tabbed on phone to check later, no idea what to do about that. I hear there were plans to launch a read-only archive of the instance, which would be nice to at least recover that data and be able to find those posts and open them / save them from another account, but no idea what eber happened to that archive idea.
I have not considered Piefed… out of laziness mostly. I was not informed much about it by the time the migration took place, and while it should be easy to just create an account over there, I know in the heart of the cards that it’s gonna sit unused by me until an instancepocalypse hits db0. Ya know, just like my fedia and sopuli accounts. /shrug
Sad but lemmy.dbzer0.com is fine
yo :)
