It just stopped loading yesterday, period.
This is a better question for one of the support communities, please see the sidebar for suggestions. Removing under rule #3.
There’s a post here saying it’s down but no updates: https://very.bignutty.xyz/notes/9hek2yioxnuw9f15
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)
No idea, this is the first thread I’ve seen about it. It was my main instance so I’m kinda worried.
good reminder to backup your Lemmy subscriptions/settings.
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.
I’m sure. It was working for me most of yesterday, but as of about ~16 hours ago I haven’t been able to get anything to load. I hope it comes back or we get an update soon.
Has anyone checked fmhy’s Calckey? I know they made one after they took themselves down after the exploit a few weeks ago, but I don’t have an account and never followed them.Nevermind, one of the posts here already linked to the calckey
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.
