  • My 2nd cake day was going to be a few days after shutdown :(

    Lemm.ee was a fantastic instance, it will be greatly missed. Huge thanks to the admins and owner that made it happen for so long.

    A shame the communities will be lost in the transition, the movies/television communities are genuinely cursed. This is the 4th or 5th time people moved that community.

    I guess now would be a good time to give Piefed another shot. I love Lemmy and all, but new features have stalled for too long and I’m ready for some change.

    So long, lemm.ee














  • TL;DR is that Lemmy was originally created to make a Reddit alternative where communists could talk freely after they got tired of Reddit. Both .ML and Lemmygrad were created by the founders and were the most popular instances by far until we moved here.

    Despite terrible moderation and really questionable activity, the devs never called ML the official instance and encouraged that people spread out to other instances. It’s still known as the tankie instance today.
