lemmy.fmhy.ml is gone [update from the team] - sh.itjust.works

An update: - fmhy.ml [http://fmhy.ml] is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back - As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml [http://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 [http://fmhy.net] and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

So why is lemmy.ml still working?

At least I see posts from their instance, like this one midwest.social/post/1290001

Is now the right time to switch to Linux? - midwest.social

Experience: I have a bit of experience with Linux. I started around 2008, distro-hopped weekly, decided on Debian until around 2011, when I switched to Windows as I started getting interested in gaming. Tried switching back around 2015, this time using Arch Linux for about a month, but had some bad experiences with gaming and switched back to Windows. I have had a Debian and Arch VM in Virtual Box since then for testing different applications and a more coherent environment to work with servers. Understanding: Which brings me to now, I am really interested in using Linux for gaming, I know there is Proton from Valve and that they have been really pushing Linux gaming forward with it. Thoughts: I have been contemplating dual booting by installing Debian to an SSD and simply using the UEFI boot menu to choose instead of having to install to the EFI of Windows. I guess, I should just do it, as it won’t affect my Windows installation, and I could test different games and if all works well, move over. This would also allow me to try different distributions, though my heart is for Debian, I even like Debian Unstable. Note: I am sorry for the wall of text, I am just kind of anxious I guess.

lemmy.fmhy.ml is pirate friendly, lemmy.ml is not. Maybe the Mali government suddenly decided they don’t like piracy because… reasons? Maybe the Somalian pirates pissed them off???

I doubt they care about such things.

They may not have taken the lemmy.ml domain back yet, but because the different instances are federated, you’ll still be able to see contents from an instance that’s gone.
