A big issue was loosing all the .ml lemmy instances. I lost mine and had to create a new account. lemmy.ml is the only one that's still up.

What happened there? Still trying to understand lemmy

The government of Mali (who controls all .ml domains) wanted their domains back. This forced the closure of any website using that domain and for them to reopen on a new domain.
