The first 2 comments made on the now dead FMHY instance shall remain remembered
Unfortunately what seems to be the cached version of lemmy.fmhy.ml is now slowly disappearing from Cloudflare. Those 2 comments have now been lost as well along with most of the content.
From what I can gather losing the domain means losing the instance. Obviously that sucks but if I was designing Lemmy I wouldn't think of "what if the Malian government suddenly decides not?".
The reason they haven't yet come back to another instance is they're trying to work out how to migrate and keep the instance while not breaking anything.
This is more like activitypub problem. You can't really change domain in activitypub. Even in mastodon, you can only add another alias domain. Losing your original domain is catastrophic. I'm actually interested whether the activitypub devs are finally going to address this. I'm also interested to see what kind of hack FMHY use in order to save their instance.
