Dammit, I literally just re-opened !radiolemmy@lemm.ee this week. What unfortunate timing.
To any of my subscribers reading this: I’m currently in the process of finding a new instance. I’ll update this comment when I establish a new home for Radio Lemmy. Stay tuned…
(e: Lemm.ee was also my first account after I left reddit. As silly as it is, I’m going to miss it. I have another account on a different instance but it’s not nearly as old…)
EDIT 2: We moved to !radiolemmy@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Can’t wait to see you at the relaunch. Streaming will begin Q3 2025.
Anyone have suggestions for similar instances?
I assume my user account will also go down? I’m new to the lemmy community so I don’t know how this would interfere with me being able to comment and post on other instances from this account
Someone in another thread suggested lemmy.zip and lemmy.today as having similar defederation policies as lemm.ee. That’s probably where I’ll go since I like being able to see pretty much all lemmy instances. Most of the ones that have been suggested in the replies to your post so far appear to defederate more than lemm.ee. I can’t tell for sure on the piefed instances since their /instances format is pretty different than lemmy’s.
Your account will still exist, but you won’t be able to use it. So you should probably make an alt on another server.
I’d recommend maybe https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ (similar but explicitly political unlike lemmee) https://lemmy.cafe/ (similar but defederated from more instances)
Please consider piefed.social/feddit.online/piefed.au
Are there any active communities hosted here that will be lost?
Yes, the Movies community is very active and is the best place on Lemmy if you want to discuss films or the film industry.
lemm.ee is one of the biggest instances. yes, there are communities and all of them will be lost.
is this trolling, or are you serious?
No need to be a dick.
What large communities are hosted here?
Bruh what? They’re citing lack of staff? They haven’t even asked for volunteers! I would be happy to help!
You don’t necessarily want to just ask for volunteers as that’s a great way to summon exactly the kind of people you don’t want to put in charge of online communities. The best way is usually to notice people who are already part of the community and consistently make positive contributions, then ask for their help. If none of those people want to, though, you’re stuck.
As somebody that created and moderated communities for almost 20 years you nailed it.
Nobody should actively want to be a moderator, it’s a hell job.
Obviously you would vet each person, not just blindly give admin privileges.
They did, 4 month ago
they have, not long ago.
The people that are most willing to help are generally the least likely to help, especially when it comes to content moderation.

If you’re gonna volunteer to be a moderator or admin for your instance you probably should brush up on its philosophy regarding other instances first.

You can have a differing opinion, but I don’t know how far you’re gonna get in becoming an admin when you fundamentally differ on the philosophy of the instance. Hell, that’s probably a very valid reason why your admins weren’t letting random users apply to become admins, because it seems a lot of people don’t get it.
You are from Hexbear what are you even doing here? This is nothing of any interest or involvement with you
Another user who signed up in the instance that is specifically supposed to federate with all other instances and only defederate as a last resort who… really doesn’t like being federated with other instances? I’m trying to be respectful here, literally just reminding you of why your instance exists and how your admins think.
Another troll from Hexbear meddling into things that are none of their business. This is a meta community involving events of this server.
You are a guest here so behave like a guest.
they could just continue without mods. everyone hates mods.
Pfft, you say that but there’s no way.
Go look at a big instance’s defederation list. Just the URLs should be enough to clue you in.
censorship isnt the answer. its always abused by the party in power. so id rather have death threads, cp and genovidal remarks removed than letting my admins get burned out by every thing they dont like. im just sad that lemm.ee went this way. the fediverse is tiny compared to reddit and x but already breaking from the inside because people cant just fucking downvote, block users and scroll away. no every thing post gets put on the goldscale.
Go ahead and run your own instance, then.
You don’t know what you are asking for. There are far more toxic people out there that you can possibly handle or imagine and even if you can do it (which I doubt) then majority won’t and they would just delete accounts and move elsewhere.
Even I cannot handle everything internet has to offer. Even me.
Don’t ask me what is there, you don’t want to know. We need to be sheltered because we aren’t psychopaths and that’s good.
There are things that make even most edgy wingcuck chuddy troll recoil with disgust. Even these people have contempt for this kind of content. Even they are sheltered from it by moderators on their stupid pro nazi sites.
I know them more than most here because I generally like to do sort of gonzo journalism around deep internet subcultures, and there is almost not a one platform without some kind of moderation, except for the few least human that harbour unspeakable things far worse than some civilised 4chan shock videos. That are a home to some users who actually do and film real-life things that strip them of any sliver of humanity.
And then they are somewhere there, between us, unrecognisable from your uncle Steven, doing groceries and picking kids from school. Maybe typing “:3” here under cat photos.
