A lot of people should be concerned about this for .me domains as well (Montenegro)

Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn't?

edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn't expecting. I'd appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?

Why are so many instances using .ml anyway?

Why was .ml selected to begin with?

I’m new to the fediverse and not sure how it works just yet. Can someone help me understand? My account was created on Lemmy.ml, will it no longer work and I’ll have to make another?

Time for use the ip instead of a name

This would create the same issue every time you wanted to switch servers / server hosters and would make self hosting with a dynamic ip impossible

I'm not sure that's true. Couldn't it just automatically broadcast your server's current correct IP to all servers it federates with each time it (the IP) changes (and if a server fails to find a federated server by the most recent IP in its records, have it query other federated servers for a more up to date IP.)
