FMHY is down for now, though hopefully not permanently. They were the only large instance that hadn’t defederated us.
I saw this when I was lurking the admin chat. They’ve got a tough road ahead of them since they have so many users subscribed to so many communities on the fediverse. They’d have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to all of them to resume federation with each instance.
We were fortunate enough to have few members and very few subscribed communities when we swapped domains while we were just starting out. So it was no biggie for us.
they are back at lemmy.fmhy.net btw
Hopefully, they get their domain back, though usually with things like that it’s difficult. I think it’d be more likely for them to set up shop on another domain.
Didn’t know a country can take all of their regional domain by force. Wait, why is lemmy.ml still fine
Yep any domain provider can take away any domain whenever they want, choosing a TLD is almost as important as choosing a good hosting provider.
Is this why .moe is so cute and funny?
Yes, .moe is fairly resistant to censorship, and I’ve never heard of a .moe being taken away, It’s probably happened before, but most likely due to exceptionally super obviously very illegal stuff.
