website is up, you can see a handful of posts but you cannot login and mostly just errors out.
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
That’s pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.
It’s 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.
im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th
Well… it’s 10 before midnight here. I’m pretty sure a bit east from me it’s the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don’t know where lemm.ee was located.
pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.
Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.
Ah. My instance reports the last activity from lemm.ee from 45mins ago… So that’d be June 30th, 00:14 Estonian time. And the main page forwards to join-lemmy.org now. Looks like the shutdown to me.
Estonia, so it’s already the 30th there
Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn’t get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.
I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don’t even know if it’s worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I’ve only had the idea not the motivation.
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right
I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.
What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?
The admin team burned out
There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.
