What Happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml? What Happens if an Instance Disappears?
I was originally signed up on lemmy.fmhy.ml, but about a day ago the site went out or something. Now I can’t log in to my original account.
Is there a way for me to at least retrieve my subscribed community list?
They could probably just move the instance to the new domain name.
It should be the last resort plan. Cuz if the domain name changes, that’s a new instance as far as Lemmy is concerned. Sure, the instance will hold all your posts and media, but I don’t think new posts made from that account will be associated with posts before the domain name change.
Don’t think they have a choice
If they can buy the .ml domain, everything can work as it was. The question is, are they even for sale right now.
Lemmy.ml is the instance ran by the developers of the Lemmy software. I’m sure they would just love to some sort of key verification for federation than just domain name, which they should be doing anyway because domain names can change.
