What is happening with the FMHY instance?
Since yesterday the FMHY instance, lemmy.fmhy.ml, is seemingly offline. My main account is registered there amd I haven't been able to access it all day.
The admins made a Calckey account to help communicate during server downtimes but nothing is posted there at all.
Anybody know whats going on?
Something with the Mali government claiming back a domain and then Meta suing a hosting provider, if I could find the post where I saw it I would comment it here.

The admins originally tried to set up a script to move all users and posts to the new domain, but it was taking too long and users voted to just start over. Admins have a post saying they will try to move some community / mod posts over, but all users and communities are a clean slate.

Thanks mom, now where's the meatloaf
