    The part that sucks about all this is that there aren’t any tools to fully migrate my account over to a new instance. Comments and posts will be left behind, but at least they’ll hopefully remain federated for as long as possible so I can look back at them in the future.

    The thing I like most about lemm.ee is the defederation policy. Supposedly lemmy.zip is similar in that regard so that’s where I ended up.

      Is there a tool for comparing Lemmy instances in regards to their federation policies?

        The data is all public and it’s aggregated by a few websites that provide apis. You’d need some kind of tool for analyzing densely connected graphs, maybe load it all into a db and write queries for a start? Or some kind of visualization software

    I’m now on a few different instances. I was not expecting do have to do something like this, but I understand.

    Thank you very much to the admins and mods of lemm.ee. I was on there for at least a year or so, and I will definitely miss the open federation they had.

    What happens to the communities and posts from those communities. Are they archived and accessible, or do they disappear once the instance goes down?

    Oh fuck it. I think I’ll just stop using Lemmy when this instance shuts down. This is the part of the fediverse that really sucks. All the comments, saved posts etc are gone because why? A couple of guys couldn’t handle a few troll messages? Sorry, if we want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you’re gonna have to tough it out and deal with a few nasty messages.

      No they aren’t. Clearly they don’t have to, as they are in fact shutting the instance.

      They’re providing a service, as volunteers, for free, and asking nothing in return. By definition they get to set the terms on which they do that, and it is astonishingly selfish for you to expect them to do so under conditions that are clearly untenable, and blame them for this outcome when they cannot continue.

      No. If you want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you should’ve stepped up and volunteered to admin when they needed help.

      I think posts and comments will stay saved on other federated servers. It’d be weird and would probably break things if the entire server’s activity gets scrubbed.

      Instead of acting like an entitled brat, why don’t you go start your own instance. Shouldn’t be too hard, just some little technical know how and few bucks a month. Should be a small price to pay to escape venture capitalists. If you can’t handle it then too bad, just tough it out.
