![[Discussion] Risks of .ml domains and lemmy](https://bookwormstory.social/pictrs/image/d396e9c1-04d0-4d05-9524-5ced1ac10c78.png){kind=link}
Not sure if this topic fits in this community but recently my account on a lemmy instance with a .ml extension (lemmy.fmhy.ml) was rendered inaccessible.
While the instance works to a degree (I can set a dns overide to gain acess) due to the broken domain it effectivly renders my account (and the instance lost due to federation).
While bookworm is fine I worry about other instances like lemmy.ml which has the same domain prefix and hosts many communities.
Damn that really sucks, FMHY was my main instance.
If you want to backup your subscriptions you can use a dns rewrite to gain pseudo acess back lemmy.fmhy.ml → 104.21.81.71
Example:
not sure if this is browser cache…
