MODERATORS
This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I typically browse through all and picked lemm.ee for their moderation style.
I'm sad to see it go.
I think both of those are perfect suggestions. Being a huge nerd with a strong moral compass, zip seemed to be one of the more similar to lemm.ee. I also heard piefed has some good policies and features!!
Thanks for the links!
I’d stay away from Lemmy.today until they start to deal with obvious spammers on their instance.
One four-day old account there has almost five hundred posts last time I checked, which is more then a post every six minutes.
Why both of them blocked lemm.ee lol.

Discuit isn't part of the fediverse

Definitely not in the same ballpark as Lemmy/Piefed
If you want the Lemmy experience pre-Reddit exodus minus the communism, this seems like the place. Lemmy was less than 200 people at one point, look how we've grown.
But since then, we reached 47k monthly active users, mostly thanks to the federated model.
Beehaw has 415 monthly active users, and is highly moderated, so if people are looking for a smaller experience, I would recommend that instead
It's not an alternative to lemm.ee and also the dev shits on federation.
And I still can't believe that they still haven't fucking implemented search yet. The search is literally Google search with a site:discuit.org constraint.
I've moved to https://piefed.social/ - I really like the ability there to subscibe to whole topics rather than individual communities. But I'll miss lemm.ee's defederation policy.
Lemmy clients won't work there?
I am out of the loop with piefed (I don't even know if it is another Lemmy instance, it seems it is lol).
I am too attached to Summit and Voyager to stop using Lemmy at all.
It's a totally different project with a different codebase, but is Lemmy/activitypub compatible. Currently only one app supports it, but more are coming (thunder).
but more are coming (thunder).
I see, TIL, it seems like I can wait a bit then.
but more are coming (thunder)
This is awesome. Seems like a great oportunity to finally look into piefed.
Any idea about an ETA?

Since the announcement thread is locked, thanks to the admins for their hard work.
definitely not what i'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion
Seems pretty prone to defederating other instances.
It defederated from Hexbear at least, so yes. I absolutely love that instance - I whole-heartedly recommend the admin team there, but if someone is looking for federation with instances such as that one, that is not what it is about.
It is a fantastic recommendation to make to someone coming in from Reddit.
no Voyager, no deal. end of story. not changing apps again, it's the whole damn reason I'm on this site to begin with. piefed is worthless to me right now.
In general, while it's already huge, sh.itjust.works errs on the side of careful defederation. Afaik, none of the big instances are defederated at all.
It's pretty stable too. I think it's been down maybe twice for any significant length of time.
That's the two biggest factors in why it's where my main account is.
So, it's an option for sure.
A friend of mine is on lemdro.id, and he's able to reach all the usual instances. Same with dbzero, though they have a bit more focused set of policies. Both are very stable as well.
About the only instance that you'll run into trouble accessing from most is hexbear or whatever it's called now. All the other big/biggish ones are usually not defederated widely.
Hexbear is still called that. They were able to recover their domain after all. By my calculations, they appear to be in the top 10 largest lemmy instances by MAU, top 5 by number of accounts, and number 2 lemmy instance by number of posts, out of the regular user-driven (not automated cross-posting) instances, behind only lemmy.world.
Good to know.
why not just go back to reddit since the site culture seems 1:1 exact
Come to hexbear.net! We aren't a bunch of scary online tankie, we will answer questions asked in good faith, and most of us do real political organizing! We also have the best emotes of any instances.
it is literally my birthday so come on over 2 hexbear
Hexbear houses some of the worst people I have ever experienced on Lemmy. Do not go there unless you are truly toxic.
Strong disagreement there. Hexbear users frequently brush against liberals and anti-Communists, but as an actual space it's not toxic at all, in my experience. If you consider yourself a Marxist or Anarchist, you'll probably fit in well, if not then you won't, simple as that.
The real thing is that lemm.ee has very minimal defederation, but Hexbear uses defederation quite deliberately to curate a safe space for marginalized comrades, and doesn't tolerate liberalism, so it isn't a replacement for lemm.ee outright, just a good option.
This you?
I think they were talking about people like that, people like you.

Counter point: I'm a drunk cute Dog girl 
I'm the special birthday girl, yr a weirdo who is obsessed with oppressing others for inexcusable cheap treats,and it's my special day!!! 
UwU
Yr toxic to call my instance toxic for not just rebuking our certifiable facts/emotional labor. But mostly for being mean to the Gemini borzoi!!!
Send me money n I'll use it for means testing, DM yr cashapp, social fash. GG

You say that like your instance isn't so toxic that your admins gave up maintaining it

no instance can ever beat the hex emotes and happy birthday!
sorry I already finished middle school, why would I want to go back there
We aren't a bunch of scary online tankie,
hexbear is fun and all, but i'd rather just visit. too many other places defederate from ya'll, for reasons which are quite beyond my ken.
and happy birfday! 🎉

I have an old registration with lemy.lol. Any reason why it wouldn't work out?
I chose lemmy.blahaj.zone since most of the communities I participate in are there and they have been nothing but kind to me. I highly recommend it for other queer people who want to have a peaceful community free of transphobia.
Wait what's going on with lemm.ee? Do I have to make a new act? What about the local communities I follow?
