Support / questions about Lemmy.
I would just wait before doing any crazy. I would assume they can get a new domain, and migrate current environment there. Probably causes few issues for few days.
If you want to support smaller instances (which is of course good), then you should create new account somewhere.
I have created that account at a smaller instance, and I am wonder how to sync subscribed communities
I heard that lemmy.ml is going to die soon
This is news to me. Where'd you hear that?
there’s no reason think that the lemmy.ml instance - the instance run by the lemmy API devs - is going to just disappear. it’s very likely they’ll just migrate to a different domain if they have to.
Drama surrounding the .ml TLD.
Honestly, I'm a little suprised lemmy.ml is still up. lemmy.fmhy.ml has already gone down. This was what lead to me standing up my own instance.
word was that most of other instances on .ml top level domain had free domains, which the government took away, while lemmy.ml was paid domain and not a free one, so it's still alive. but we'll see.
in worst case they will migrate current server and config to another domain.
Mali government is taking back the .ml domain. Nobody knows what they're going to do with it though. lemmy.ml may still stick around.
As far as I know, there isn't an account migration mechanism in Lemmy yet. I've heard (fourth hand at best) that it is in the works but hasn't been implemented yet. You may have to do it the hard way. Copy, paste and search.
I had no idea, so I'm glad this was posted - thanks!
I'm wondering, since I also have a kbin account, how effectively can I follow all the subscriptions I've had on Lemmy.ml?
I use Liftoff as my main app currently, and I assume I am probably yet to fully use its capabilities since I'm not always getting some of my subscriptions coming up, especially the kbin ones I found there and subscribed to from my Lemmy account.
I guess creating backup accounts elsewhere is always a good idea (regardless of the stability of a given instance - I mean who'd have guessed the whole Mali thing? lol)
on that matter, does anyone know where I can find a list of instances that don't have swearing censorship? I've finally finished my potty training and I think I'm ready for it
So does this dude lose everything ??? It would be nice if servers could sync user data so that if one goes down you don’t lose your user.
