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.

Shall I make an account in another instance?

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nope. Domains don't store data. They can change domain and keep all the data.

Unfortunately, no.

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

So basically, if you switch your instance domain, you'll mess up all your federation network, unless Lemmy devs implement a solution soon.

Calckey.social will be transferring all data to new firefish.social, first in the Fediverse.
