[meta] Discussion on where to migrate the community. (lemm.ee)

As some of you already have seen the lemm.ee admins have announced that the instance is shutting down at the end of the month.

The question for us is where should we migrate next.

Returning to !football@lemmy.world is always an option, alternatively we could move to either another established and stable lemmy instance or migrate to a piefed instance.

Piefed instances federate with lemmy instances as normal, and it allows for adding flairs to community posts and users, something not yet implemented on Lemmy. I haven't tried Piefed myself yet so I would need to dig more into it if it is a popular option.

Ultimately the choice for our next destination is up to you guys!

Flairs are on their way to Lemmy. So that shouldn't be a factor.

Lemmy 1.0 is planned for Autumn 2025, and it's not a set in stone date.

I'm vehemently against moving back to Lemmy World.

Same. We see how much impact the Lemm.ee shutdown has, imagine what it would be if LW did the same tomorrow.

I propose taking over !football@soccer.forum it's a football instance. It's always up and up-to-date and it allows for smaller teams to host their communities there too, which should help grow the football community on Lemmy overall.

For context, this instance is part of the https://communick.news/c/communick_news_network network

The admin is known for being against donations-based instances:

I also personally had quite a few unpleasant interactions with him (the most recent being today: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45833491/19184026), but that's me.

I'm not going to pretend that rgullis versus you isn't a mess. But I don't think it should get in the way of finding c/football a good home.
