Out of the loop, what happened to vlemmy?

[–] bdonvr 42 points 1 year ago

Actual answer:

The admin just kinda wiped everything without any announcement. Shut down donation links and all. As far as I've heard nobody ever figured out why.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

You're the admin now, Dog

lemmy.fmhy.ml?

Edit: I mean this one isn't gone forever, they're just gonna have to get a new domain. I'm guessing it's Vlemmy like someone else already said.

[–] bdonvr 16 points 1 year ago

They say that. But lemmy/the fediverse really doesn't allow domain name changes...

.ml domain names are being taken back by the mali government

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you mean with taken back? Don't they need to… give it away for someone to get a ML domain?
And what about vlemmy?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The rules set by the registrar are that any ml domain needs to be used for something relating to Mali. Presumably you could run a Lemmy instance that has a focus on Malian content and keep using the domain within the rules, but the way Lemmy.ml was using it was obviously not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@[email protected] is right about the .ml part, as for vlemmy, one day it just stopped existing. nobody knows why. some people are theorising that the admin did not want to moderate and shut the instance down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have any sources because that sounds very weird

.ml top-level domain got taken back by the Mali Government ".ml" stands for Mali

Edit: lemmy.ml is still up either because the Mali Government haven't gotten to them yet (lemmy.ml is after fmhy.ml in alphabetical order) or maybe they paid for the domain instead of getting a free domain like lemmy.fmhy.ml did.

You have now became a digital ronin.

Isn't the fediverse fragile long-term wise from a structural point of view? I have this feeling that a ton of small lemmy instances will die over the years taking content away (I don't expect this will happen with lemmy.world). Is this something that could happen? Will it be a problem?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

One way to deal with it is to add an easy way to transfer users and posts from one instance to another. I'm pretty sure there are tickets about it, but I don't know what's the status of it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Text is federated between instances while images are hosted on the home instance assuming you didn't just embed an image from somewhere else like Imgur. I dont believe lemmy hosts any videos, but that might just be an instance admin thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's possible I'm wrong!! I'm still learning about the mechanics of the fediverse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is stored on the instance. If the instance goes, the content is gone too.
I don't know exactly will something be cached, but even if it is, eventually it will be invalidated too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could we do something like a central ledger for users that an instance could opt in to hosting but still isn't controlled centrally?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Representing the quorum in some kind of logical chain of consensus-derived blocks, you say?

Reminder to always backup your subscriptions/blocks to an alt acct using LASIM or something similar.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago
