is this real
Are there any active communities hosted here that will be lost?
lemm.ee is one of the biggest instances. yes, there are communities and all of them will be lost.
is this trolling, or are you serious?
No need to be a dick.
What large communities are hosted here?
You can view the communities list if you so desire. It’s linked on almost every page, or likely surfaced in your client.
Probably but not any that I’m subscribed to
Yes, the Movies community is very active and is the best place on Lemmy if you want to discuss films or the film industry.
It seems so 😭
Bruh what? They’re citing lack of staff? They haven’t even asked for volunteers! I would be happy to help!
You don’t necessarily want to just ask for volunteers as that’s a great way to summon exactly the kind of people you don’t want to put in charge of online communities. The best way is usually to notice people who are already part of the community and consistently make positive contributions, then ask for their help. If none of those people want to, though, you’re stuck.
they have, not long ago.

If you’re gonna volunteer to be a moderator or admin for your instance you probably should brush up on its philosophy regarding other instances first.

You can have a differing opinion, but I don’t know how far you’re gonna get in becoming an admin when you fundamentally differ on the philosophy of the instance. Hell, that’s probably a very valid reason why your admins weren’t letting random users apply to become admins, because it seems a lot of people don’t get it.
I was waiting for piefed to develop a little bit more ig this is the best opportunity now
Dammit, I literally just relaunched [email protected] this week. What unfortunate timing.
To any of my subscribers reading this: I’m currently in the process of finding a new instance. I’ll edit this comment when I establish a new home for Radio Lemmy. Stay tuned…
Anyone have suggestions for similar instances?
I assume my user account will also go down? I’m new to the lemmy community so I don’t know how this would interfere with me being able to comment and post on other instances from this account
they could just continue without mods. everyone hates mods.
Pfft, you say that but there’s no way.
Go look at a big instance’s defederation list. Just the URLs should be enough to clue you in.
I wish the best for the admin and mods of lemm.ee. I can attest to the frustration that is running any online community though, especially one built on/dependent on Lemmy. I am sorry to see you stepping out @[email protected] but hope you’re doing alright otherwise. Was real nice bouncing ideas and changes off you in the past.
I also wish the best for the admins and mods
