Lemmy guess, vlemmy?
- Out of the loop, what happened to vlemmy?
  
  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.
  
  vlemmy was on a free .ml domain but unfortunately the .ml top-level domain got taken back by the Mali Government. Same thing happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml which was pretty big too.
  
  “.ml” stands for Mali
  
  must have been the one seized by the FBI for CSAM that I was hearing about—but don’t quote me on that
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.
- They say that. But lemmy/the fediverse really doesn't allow domain name changes...
- What happened to them?
  
  .ml domain names are being taken back by the mali government
  
  .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?
- 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.
- I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.
  
  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.
  
  It's possible I'm wrong!! I'm still learning about the mechanics of the fediverse
  
  Could we do something like a central ledger for users that an instance could opt in to hosting but still isn't controlled centrally?
  
  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.
Rip vlemmy
