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?

Bummer - sucks to lose a good server

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

and the estonian community was on there too, and my account on there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*^

^*^ - timezone dependent but +/-24hours.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Same. at least users of lemm.ee were given a lot of notice in advance so they could prep

It's 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.

im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 17 hours ago

Estonia, so it's already the 30th there

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

pretty sure sunaurus is an Estonian.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

well yes, i am estonian

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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.

oh, now it does

Not really, the admins and just about every active community on there announced a month ago that they were shutting down.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think op was saying it's interesting that it redirects rather than just an error

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 14 hours ago

That's not really interesting. DNS changes don't propagate instantly. It's likely OPs DNS server was still pointing to the old server even though the domain redirect had already been set by the owners.
