I’m a happy lemm.ee user and a mod of a small community hosted there. I’m also subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemm.ee. Sadly, they have just announced that they will be shutting it down. I understand that I can open an account on another instance and subscribe to the same communities. For my own community, I can probably re-create it on my new instance and DM every subscriber. But how do I find all the communities from lemm.ee in their new places? I’d like some practical advice.

      One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

      On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

      I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

      Yeah I don’t get this argument either. The user reports content and I can see it, no matter which instance they’re using. Does Piefed have a fully automatic autobot that fights spammers and we don’t know about it? :)
