      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.

    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

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

      Made what after the exploit?
