I already moved to Lemmy.zip (they just accepted my account), I exported the lemm.ee settings from the configuration page to lemmy.zip, but I'd also like to backup my upvoted and saved posts (I am interested more in the latter), any ideas?
EDIT: nvm, it seems they were exported? it took a little to make them appear, maybe upvoted content is a no-no then.
I just want to say that I have moved from ee to zip and the export-import function is easy and it worked flawlessly.
Thank you for sharing!
.zip seems to have more timeouts and actions need to be retried 🤔
If you want to try out PieFed (An alternative front-end to the Fediverse) instead of Lemmy you can check out quokk.au or piefed.social
Other honorable mentions:
Any of these having similar moderation and federation policy as lemm.ee?
Piefed.zip is managed by the lemmy.zip team. Their blocked list is similar to the lemm.ee one: https://lemmy.zip/instances
If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws),
Wait why?
Thanks for the good times lemm.ee. Just got my zip account today.
I've migrated this account to db0 and making copy accounts at a few other places such as sopuli.
The only thing I'm missing is how to migrate my posts, can't find a way to do that.
And, gonna be real:
Gonna miss lemm.ee. It has a je ne sais quadracoptêre that made it feel a quite cozy community, somehow.
Posts are federated already, so you can't migrate them. The content from your old account is already on the new server, just under your old account name. Importing posts to a new account, especially if they "posted" from that new account isnt possible.
It would be great to have a "migrated/archived" tab on an account that would bring over posts/content in a local only way that was just attached to that account, but that's not a feature lemmy has.
Can anyone fill me in? Why is your instance shutting down? Is this permanent?
Tl;dr: Admin burnout
Thanks, surprising but appreciate the filling in
Bear related burnout
Pawsitivly un-bear-able
gonna miss you, lemm.ee.
Point your new account/instance by adding it on your lemm.ee bio! So others can find you.

That's news for me. Anyone know what law(s) exactly they have problems with?
I’m not 100% how this all works. I use the Voyager app on iOS with Lemm.ee. Do I need to switch apps as well as make a new account?
Not at all. To create an account on a new instance with voyager:
It will let you create a new account on any server you wish and use it with voyager.
For example, I’m on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, and I am communicating to you with voyager. But I also sometimes communicate with my alt @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com and I access that from voyager too.
Thank you so much!
See you around fellow lemmeers.
Farewell to the best Lemmy instance!
I think I should be trying Lemmy.zip instance. Any feedback on that?
Quite a few in this thread
Is there a list of that shows where the main communities on lemm.ee are moving to?
Moved over to zip no problem, but I can’t find a way to export my comments/posts. I know I can access my profile via zip but will that be cached and available after the servers are shut down?
What do you mean by "export my comments/posts"? You can't migrate your posts from one account to the other if that's the question.
Your account on zip will be a new one just with imported settings and communities you follow
I’d like a list of links to them so I can at least go view them on instances they’ve federated to at some time.
Ah ok, but each instance will have its own link so you would at least have to chose which instance you would get the links
