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.

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!
The following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run:
- !television@lemm.ee -> !television@metacritics.zone
- !movies@lemm.ee -> !movies@metacritics.zone
- !artporn@lemm.ee -> !artporn@sfw.community
- !football@lemm.ee -> !football@soccer.forum
- !keitrucks@lemm.ee -> !keitrucks@gearhead.town
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.
!Television@lemm.ee, !movies@lemm.ee and !Football@lemm.ee 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: !artporn@lemm.ee also has a meta discussion post.
There is now a Migration Mega Thread:
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.
It will be a community by community discussion. I mod a few lemm.ee communities, we’ll have separate polls in each of them.

Yeah, what Blaze said…
This is a huge pain in the ass, though… A shame they couldn’t keep Lemm.ee up…
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.
Consider moving them to PieFed.
It’s more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.
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
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.
