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.

    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.

        Right. This will basically make nearly every /c live in .world as all of the .ml /c’s go defunct. That, or Beehaw, which is walled off from everyone else.

        (Side note… my work’s firewalls block everything *.ml – and that’s the only thing that saved me from creating my account there)

      Currently, activitypub identity is tied to domain name. Mastodon support migration as long as the old domain is still up during the migration process, but AFAIK Lemmy doesn’t even have a process to migrate an instance to a new domain yet.

      Someone should tell Lemmy devs and send them a crate of coffee because it’ll be a race to implement domain migration before all .ml domains got shut down.
