Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Shame lemm.ee wasn't around when I first propped up the community. It was literally just the big three (ml, grad, beehaw) and world was barely a week old but I had faith in their background. One hopes this is just a minor blip in their radar.

Oo nga eh.

Events like this make me more and more convinced that communities are better off dispersed among different instances, perhaps a bunch of related communities being bundled together in a themed/geographical instance. However, it's unfortunate that events like this also highlights the importance of knowledgeable and competent instance admins (on top of other technical requirements for running an instance, as well as the legal responsibilities of the choice of hosting location), thus establishing an instance, and administrating it is a heavy responsibility.
