    I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

    As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

    db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

        db0 way of managing the community is great but PieFed is a lot better by what I’m noticing and they dont have a PieFed instance. quokk.au is close to that if you want to jump ship to PieFed meanwhile

        Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

        Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

      quokk.au is nice too if you want to use PieFed instead since db0 has no PieFed instance yet

    I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today*

      True story I actually meant to switch to .zip and I had both it and dbzer0 open in tabs for a few days (deciding between them) and on d-day for .ee I opened one and signed in and did the verification… and then realized where I was. And actually I’m happy with my accidental choice. It’s rad here.

        It’s ok I just don’t like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn’t do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.

        its good but I feel like I ran into less not likable ppl on lemm.ee, maybe they were already blocked instancewide or something

        Or maybe ppl here are more argumentative these days lol

          Oh I hear you…. I didn’t think about that. World is heavily moderated and switching to another instance opens me up to more aggressive personalities.

    What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?

    Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn’t get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.

    I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don’t even know if it’s worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I’ve only had the idea not the motivation.

      i used to be on .world but quickly went to .ee then i wanted to switch like you and was looking at db0 but im more interested in PieFed and they have no PieFed instance yet. quokk.au is close to a db0 equivalent (not really but its an anarchist instance too) meanwhile
