Damn, it was like the 2/3rd most active instance
https://lemmyverse.net/ to search for a new instance
im guessing its due to all the reddit refugees from the purges since janauary, too much too handle all at once.

How did you attempt to recruit administrator, and why didn't it work out?
i heard most of them stepped down, and they did ask for admins months ago, around the time i got reddit banned. im guessing because there was no news it was a bad sign since.

It's still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.
And at least the average Lemmy user isn't a complete fucking idiot.
I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

I have mostly just lurked here and wanted to come out of my shell to say thank you, admins, for all your hard work on this instance. You did a great job running this instance and I'll miss being the goblin hiding in the corner here.
Best of luck with your next endeavors.
We're in Lemmy.world but I'm sure they got the message.

Now is a good time to check out PieFed.
It also has much better mod tools, so it will make life easier for mods
Is there a single instance that allows using apps, other than the api test instance? PieFed is a good idea for desktop, but the mobile website is cumbersome to use.
I signed up with piefed.au several months ago now, but every time I try, I'm getting error 400 "alpha api not enabled".

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.
In this situation, a user on lemm.ee would have to export their settings and create a new account elsewhere, right? Do their comments and post histories get exported too? I joined Lemmy only a month ago; this is the first time seeing an instance go down, so I'd appreciate it if someone here could clarify that.

probably with the sudden increase of lemmy.ee users from reddit who were part of the ban waves since the beginning of the year, many of them are rightfully banned for spreading pro-israeli, russian backed and right wing propaganda. along with innocent users that were unceremoniously banned.
I haven't been following Reddit events since I left a couple years ago, but if there have been recent ban waves for bad behaviour, it wouldn't surprise me to see corresponding upticks in it here.
I wish more of us spoke up against rudeness, confidently incorrect ignorance, combativeness, tribalism, brigading, and other such stuff when it rears its head here. If all of us participated in moderation, I suspect it would be more effective and make our mods' lives easier.

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg's less glamorous knockoff, people didn't comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

besides the rightful bans, thier purges were quite different this time around, many of them were banned for no REASON at all.

Sad day. Lemm.ee was by far my favorite instance and my home. Thanks admins for the hard work.

Yes

No, but if I understand it correctly, they will live on in other servers that were federated at the time they were posted.

I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.
2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg's suicide, it was the beginning of the end.
And now he's is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don't fuck it up this time, Kevin.

People were being banned for up voting posts that got removed.
