That's disappointing but thank you for giving us a place to call 'home' in the fediverse for as long as you did. I appreciate your time and effort doing so.
If anyone needs help finding a new instance here are some resources:
join-lemmy.org/instances
lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
lemmyverse.net/
My personal general purpose instance recommendations & server locations:
feddit.de - Germany
sopuli.xyz - Finland
lemmy.ca - Canada
sh.itjust.works - Canada
I started using slrpnk.net while lemmy 0.19 was causing federation issues back in late December early January but that's an instance intended for people interested in or involved with the Solarpunk movement so it's not going to be an ideal place for everyone. Any of the general purpose instances I've mentioned are great options that I've used in the past.
Thanks for the recommendations. feddit.de seems like the natural choice, but I might go with sopuli.xyz purely because I don't want local to be 90% ich_iel posts ๐
Haha that's understandable! Well, either option should be a good choice. They've both been around since 2021 and their admins are quite active so they appear to be stable long-term instances. According to lemmy.fediverse.observer feddit.de has better uptime but in my (admittedly limited) real-world use I can't recall ever running into prolonged downtime on sopuli.xyz.
You've been given some solid suggestions, so I'll add that you can simply block ich_iel to prevent it from flooding your local feed, should you sign up at Feddit.de ๐
That's true! But to be honest I actually enjoy moderate amounts of ich_iel, despite barely speaking German, so it wouldn't bother me that much.
Just going to leave my final decision on where to migrate to until the very last minute, so I have loads of time to think about it and then make a panicked bad choice.
That's totally fine! For a similar reason I have an account on Feddit.de, it's a fun way to learn the language throught the memes. Had to unfollow the community from my other instances though. ๐
Hehe then don't forget to make your back ups before month end!
