      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.

      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 😒.

      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 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.

      They weren’t really having trouble user/load wise, they were fine, everything loaded pretty fast, almost no downtime.

      The weird thing is that everything was going fine, like one second it’s here, the next, it’s gone, no DNS redirect, nothing.

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

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

      Made what after the exploit?

    It’s a piracy-related instance, right? Could be taken down by their host due to some complains. Lemmy.dbzer0.com had to migrate to another host a few days ago due to such complains.

      Well, yeah, but it’s not like people shared piracy links there. Mostly software or sites related to piracy, no direct links shared whatsoever.

      Wasn’t dbzer0 hosted at his place (db0’s home I believe)? He said he had a spare server laying around, just put to good use.
