<tap, tap, tap> Is this mic on?
With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.
First thoughts… The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.
What happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml?

This is a post from their admin team. In short, the Mali government has taken back their domain space. Right now, for me, FMHY is kinda up, but mostly down. Nothing really works, but I can occasionally see my feed (up to date, too), and if I click on any links I get a timed out error.
Their domain was killed by Mali government because they decided giving free .ml was a mistake . Lemmy.ml is in danger too or any .ml instance
Well. Shit.
Hope the .world is safe for now. Since you know… It’s the world.
only two-letter tlds are controlled by specific countries. i forget who owns the specific tld for .world but i doubt they can pull this trick, there’s a lot of competition there
icannwiki.org says a company called Identity Digital owns a number of TLDs, including .world
Domain issues due to drama with the .ml namespace.
