since lemm.ee is slated to be gone soon, does anyone know of any other instances with similar policies regarding defederation? i’ve always loved how i can follow communities basically wherever from here. it’s why i chose here over elsewhere. i just wanna be able to curate my own feed, but most big instances seem to have all these complicated beefs that mean i’d lose access to some communities if i moved there.
If you want a similar approach to lemm.ee for defederation:
.zip not available in the UK
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.
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!
Why both of them blocked lemm.ee lol.
They did not, you’re looking at linked instances
Oh, I thought all of them were banned instances 😅
What are their stances on threads federation? I always forget what the link to that site that records that is.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Since the announcement thread is locked, thanks to the admins for their hard work.
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 (interstellar), but more are coming (thunder).
but more are coming (thunder)
This is awesome. Seems like a great oportunity to finally look into piefed.
Any idea about an ETA?
but more are coming (thunder).
I see, TIL, it seems like I can wait a bit then.
Hmm 404 code 🤔
it’s an announcement saying that Interstellar now works with Piefed: https://interstellar.jwr.one/
Oh I see, thanks for the heads up.
that sounds interesting, though i can’t seem to find where to see their blocklist
Unfortunately they have large blocklist: https://piefed.social/post/816776#comment_6416768
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.
Voyager seems to work fine with the newly migrated communities.
Try !television@piefed.social for example, the official migrated community of !television@lemm.ee
Unfortunately, adding a piefed user account doesn’t work because Vger fails at the capcha step.
So register at a different Lemmy instance, and access piefed communities.
At least until Vger gets fixed.
lemm.ee was the best and why i stayed on lemmy. this stinks. but so long and thanks for all the fish
If you’re considering non-Lemmy instances, then I can recommend kbin.earth, it’s a MBin instance that has a similar approach to the defederation
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.
Joining in to the general thanks to the administration for running this instance. I migrated here from vlemmy I think? I don’t even remember it’s been forever in internet years. But lemm.ee is (soon was) good to be in. Sending the best wishes to the team.
Where will I go? Dunno. I’m eyeing .zip but also looking for other alternatives. Might reinvigorate my fedia presence in the meantime.
A question: is if recommended to unsub from local communities before lemm.ee sundowns?
A question: is if recommended to unsub from local communities before lemm.ee sundowns?
No, as those communities will announce where they go, and organize. Examples on !movies@lemm.ee and !Television@lemm.ee
Thanks!
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.
I really appreciate how well-ran piefed.social is!
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.
definitely not what i’m looking for, but thanks for the suggestion
I’m looking for the same things as you. An instance that isn’t part of the big instance fights, mostly leaves it to the user to block instances/communities (except for the illegal ones of course), uses the latest version of lemmy, and defederates from Threads. So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill. I’ve also been looking at infosec.pub (because my work aligns with it) and lemmy.cafe, but both are defederated with .ml, which I only wish to see because there are a lot of active non-politics communities hosted there.
So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill.
You will see, it’s great
Thanks for the recommendation! Do you happen to know where lemmy.zip is hosted? I’m trying to read the instance docs but can’t find it.
Finland.
Got it, thanks! See you on wherever the movies and tv communities end up!
Wait what’s going on with lemm.ee? Do I have to make a new act? What about the local communities I follow?
I have an old registration with lemy.lol. Any reason why it wouldn’t work out?
Discuit https://discuit.org/
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.

Discuit isn’t part of the fediverse
Less than 200 commenters: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/THOarSQv
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
