lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month - lemm.ee
lemm.ee
## Hey everyone We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will be shutting down on June 30, 2025. ### What you need to know As of now: - New user registrations are disabled - Creating new communities is disabled What you should do: - You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings [https://lemm.ee/settings] to take them with you to another instance. - If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline. - Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline. - If you’re one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support. Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline. ## Why this is happening The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out. The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join. — We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better. – lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] team

As a result, I am beginning movements to transfer the television community to piefed, and I’ve put in a community request to take over the lemmy.world television instance. In the nearly three months since I made this, I’ve managed to cause the community to become the most active community on the instance. Since then, I did have my eye on Piefeds development and was interested in its features and did consider long-term the prospect of moving across.

Now that Lemm.ee is going to shut down, I guess my hand has been forced.

      is this an instance thing, so like if it appears empty to me, that means there has not been any new posts since someone on the instance I’m on subscribed?

        Something similar.

        If you don’t see new posts. It means no one on your instance is subscribed to that community yet, so it hasn’t federated to your instance.

        (You by subscribing will make it federate) :)

        So since I’m on same instance as you and you already subscribed, I can see all the posts without needing to subscribe. So thanks :)

        I don’t know. But I’m going to also relocate to lemmy.world if possible, and the likelihood is that will be much more active.

      I’ve also amended the post to note I’m also making a request for the lemmy.world television community since piefed is still in development and quite different to lemmy. If you look at how Piefed works, it integrates with other communities with the same name - so it is possible to do both.
