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!

    It’s available and someone from our football group is a moderator there. Convenience and an easy move.

      Creating a community doesn’t take more than a few clicks. I created !lego@piefed.social today and already got some posts with more than 20 upvotes and 62 subscribers.

      We’re lucky enough to have some time to redirect people to new communities from the existing ones compared to an overnight shutdown.

      By the way, which team do you support?

            Calling third place finish a “tough season” is really flattering. The standard is way too high.

            We go again next season

              I remember a rough patch around November? Also with KDB leaving that will probably be a change for the team?

                Yes, the rough patch on November. We didn’t win any matches in that period, which is still crazy to think about.

                We are going to spend big this summer. Reinders, Gibbs-White, Cherki are a few players we are chasing. Grealish, Bernardo, Stones are rumored to be on the way out. At least, that looks like the plan, we can still end up not getting any target and the squad stays the same.

            Too many injuries. Can’t believe they still got 3rd place though.

            Who do you support?
