      taskylizard quoted this post 8 hours ago, from nullishcat, which explains a bit more.

      The too lazy, didn’t click the link copy/paste:

      • .ml domains (the one fmhy.ml was on) has been reclaimed by the Mali government
      • Freenom is also being sued by Meta (and has been for the past few months)
      • Both of these have resulted in fmhy, along with a lot of other domains, to be unresolvable
      • Changing domains will cause us to have to refederate and start mostly from scratch (although we might be able to transfer posts and users)

      You just reminded me that I didn’t backup my FMHY account because procrastinating… I hope they get back eventually because I think I’m subbed to some nice communities there.

      Yeah, lasim, that was the name of the app. I did backup, but not entirely, fmhy had some problems exporting my subscriptions, so I had to add a good chunk manually. I just never finished completeing the export/list 😒.

    This is a better question for one of the support communities, please see the sidebar for suggestions. Removing under rule #3.

    I think we’re going to see this more often as smaller hosts get overwhelmed with trying to deal with a growing user base. I’ve seen some posts already about a few struggling. I suspect more than a few people spun up instances without thinking things all the way through.

      Yeah. A lot of people love the idea of federated group of people providing free service, but there is a cost to running servers at any decent volume.

      Yeah, it just stopped out of nowhere… like one second here, everything fine, the next, poof gone 🤷.

      Made what after the exploit?
