An update:

  • fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
  • 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 fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

It seems to be Mali just wanting their domains back, in which case it's uncertain times for all .ml domains.

It's just the domain, though. That's not a big deal to change.

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.
