As some of you already have seen the lemm.ee admins have announced that the instance is shutting down at the end of the month.
The question for us is where should we migrate next.
Returning to [email protected] is always an option, alternatively we could move to either another established and stable lemmy instance or migrate to a piefed instance.
Piefed instances federate with lemmy instances as normal, and it allows for adding flairs to community posts and users, something not yet implemented on Lemmy. I haven’t tried Piefed myself yet so I would need to dig more into it if it is a popular option.
Ultimately the choice for our next destination is up to you guys!
The football community already exists there but it is empty and the person who created it hasn’t posted in one year. I’m not sure how anyone could go about gaining control of it.
On the other hand, I have a very positive relationship with the admins of that instance. It’s an option to consider I guess.
Hello @[email protected] , I just messaged QuentinCallaghan as well, he said that he would grant you the mod right once you make a post to that community.
One thing to keep in mind: moderation isn’t completely functional from a non-local account, so you might consider making a sopuli account first.
OK thanks.
I’ve also always had very nice interactions with the main admin, I guess asking him mod rights over that empty community shouldn’t be an issue.
That would be the only way I could imagine it working out. Hopefully, he’s technically proficient enough to do it. I’ll send them a direct message here in a bit.
Thank you!
