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.

        Nobody really knows for sure. It just sort of disappeared one day with no warning.

          Is this going to be an unsolved mystery of the Internet? A spooky Fediverse legend?

      Damn, lemmy.zip, eh? If that instance is public, I don’t see that being a good thing.

      Tons of businesses, people, etc, are all banning .zip and .mov TLDs for security purposes. I’ve personally banned all those domains from my network as well.

      Bold move.

        i don’t doubt there have been a lot of cases of those tlds used for scams but i haven’t been negatively effected by this instances domain name.

        feel free to read the discussion about it here though

          See https://youtu.be/GCVJsz7EODA and https://youtu.be/V82lHNsSPww

          There are a few problems, but I believe the biggest issue is that .zip and .mov are valid and common file extensions, and it’s common for people to write something like ‘example dot zip’ or ‘attachment dot mov’ in emails, tweets, etc. Things like email clients have features where they automatically convert text that looks like a web address into clickable links. So now, retroactively, all those emails etc suddenly have a link, where they used to just have text, and the domains that are equivalent to those previously benign file names are being purchased by nefarious actors to exploit people unaware of the issue.
