    I’m old enough to remember a simpler time before lemm.ee was in the top 10 largest instances (it was 2 days ago when I signed up)

      The sudden death of VLemmy and temporary closing of lemmy.world pushed a bunch of people here I think.

          It’s a lemmystery.

          Really though, from what I’ve seen in other discussions surrounding it, it’s a genuine mystery as at the time I’m writing this (and as far as I’m aware), there’s been no further information on what happened with it, why it’s offline, etc. Lots of speculation, but no direct info to go off of.
