With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.
First thoughts… The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.
This is a post from their admin team. In short, the Mali government has taken back their domain space. Right now, for me, FMHY is kinda up, but mostly down. Nothing really works, but I can occasionally see my feed (up to date, too), and if I click on any links I get a timed out error.
only two-letter tlds are controlled by specific countries. i forget who owns the specific tld for .world but i doubt they can pull this trick, there’s a lot of competition there
Following that link directly is giving me a server error, and it doesn’t bring anything except up in search except your comment. Is there a particular way I’m supposed to use it?
Yeah the link seems dead. Don’t know what the other guy was suggesting but I used lemmony, which works quite well despite being a bit on the clunky side.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

I used this bot to get some subscriptions on my instance: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot
TIL .sh is a valid TLD
seems a dangerous idea, even worse than .zip (I clicked on your title and i went to visit http://hello-world.sh)
It has interesting uses but I agree it’s more than a teeny bit dangerous. https://getamp.sh/ uses it to simplify the install command.
Whoops! I did the title as a joke. I wonder what I goofed that caused it to become a link.
Simply my client assumed that’s an URL because it ended with a valid TLD
Well, I can confirm you made it all the way across the fediverse divide into my kbin instance fine.
Yea!!! It’s working! I can see this post from lemmy.world’s public feed. That was quick.
What happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml?

Domain issues due to drama with the .ml namespace.
Their domain was killed by Mali government because they decided giving free .ml was a mistake . Lemmy.ml is in danger too or any .ml instance
Well. Shit.
Hope the .world is safe for now. Since you know… It’s the world.

icannwiki.org says a company called Identity Digital owns a number of TLDs, including .world
There’s quite a few subscriber bots you can run to populate your server with minimal effort.
You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.
This link and the associated community appear dead.

The proper way to link is !community@instance.tld
Welcome!

Try !lsbsupport@lemmy.world
Lemmy.world here! Looks like things are working okay
You’ve reached lemmy.one!
