Since yesterday the FMHY instance, lemmy.fmhy.ml, is seemingly offline. My main account is registered there amd I haven't been able to access it all day.
The admins made a Calckey account to help communicate during server downtimes but nothing is posted there at all.
Anybody know whats going on?

Something with the Mali government claiming back a domain and then Meta suing a hosting provider, if I could find the post where I saw it I would comment it here.

I actually just found it before seeing your comment: https://sh.itjust.works/post/1473025
Thats annoying, I heard about it in context of these military emails, didn't think it would affect this.

In short, the Mali government took back the domain apparently. It's now running under lemmy.fmhy.net but it started from scratch.
The admins originally tried to set up a script to move all users and posts to the new domain, but it was taking too long and users voted to just start over. Admins have a post saying they will try to move some community / mod posts over, but all users and communities are a clean slate.
