lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.

What you need to know

As of now:

  • New user registrations are disabled
  • Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

  • You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
  • If you're moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
  • Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
  • If you're one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.

Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.


We know this sucks. We're genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

Dear European enthusiasts,

We're excited to grow Europe Pub and need your help to make it thrive! We're looking for passionate individuals to join us as community builders and moderators.

What we need:

  1. Community builders to breathe life into our existing communities
  2. Moderators for country-specific communities who speak the native languages

Why native-speaking moderators are crucial: Europe's beauty lies in its linguistic diversity. We want to replicate this diversity in our country-specific communities. Our goal is to ensure that every European can participate in discussions using their native language. This approach will make Europe Pub truly inclusive and representative of our continent's rich tapestry of languages and cultures.

This is your chance to contribute to the fediverse movement and create a truly European social network. Let's break free from centralized American social media and build something that represents our diverse continent.

Whether you're passionate about European culture, politics, or simply want to connect with fellow Europeans, we'd love to have you on board. No technical expertise required – just enthusiasm, a love for Europe, and fluency in your native European language!

If you're interested in helping shape Europe Pub, please comment below or send me a message.

Let's work together to create a vibrant, inclusive space! 🇪🇺

Some communities such as below don't show up when search (I tried with exact full ! And @) like below

  1. [email protected]
  2. [email protected]
  3. [email protected]

It is replicated in multiple frontends including default lemmy-UI and photon-beta

Europe Pub users can now try the Photon Beta UI.

It includes the latest features, but may be less stable than the standard release.

Try it out and share your feedback!
