An update:
- fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
- As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial
- We have backups, so don’t worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway)
Currently, we have fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.
If I’m running lemmy.world, I wouldn’t unsubscribe my people. I’d wait for that instance to move to a new domain and just find/replace in the database.
Not every instance needs to migrate fmhy. Some can just leave that stuff broken. If the biggest half dozen instances migrate manually, fmhy would be able to keep most of their subscribers.
I do wonder how often instances will keep looking for fmhy without intervention. Seems like tooling to migrate or discontinue an instance wouldn’t be too difficult to build. At least it wouldn’t if they didn’t have a million other things on their plate.
We could use a few less third party clients and more work on Lemmy itself. Unless you’re going to bring over your userbase like RiF and Apollo can.
Yes, although you might need to fudge keys if they’re properly enforced. Looking at kbin I can see requests are at least signed with the private key. Not sure if the public key is stored somewhere in database, or is pulled from the instance using DNS as a security guarantor (I guess) every time.
I don’t have any subscriptions to them, but I have those 1000+ errors just from posts their users were involved in.
