An update: - fmhy.ml is gone (https://fmhy.net is now up), due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back and also Freenom being sued by Meta - As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial - We have backups, so don't worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway) Currently, we have https://fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

      Good thing join-lemmy is safely tucked away in a .org domain.

      This is extremely bad timing for Lemmy (if it ends up happening), but also a good example of how federation makes the entire social media landscape more robust. Had this happened to a centralized service it would be devastating.

        If it was always going to happen, now isn’t really a bad time. Sure, a month ago would have been better, but people still haven’t been here that long. If I wind up needing to migrate, and lose my current account, oh well. No big loss. I imagine others feel similar.

        The instance is known by its domain name in the federation network. If that domain name changes, it’s like starting a new instance from scratch.

        Sounds like a complicated project to migrate communities and posts and users to a new instance without breaking something.
