There is this GUI app called lasim. Download it l, run it, export the data to json. But, the instance has to be online in order to do this.

the problem is the instance (lemmy.fmhy.ml) is still down.

I’m not sure if fmhy.net has the same data.

  Both lemmy.fmhy.ml and lemmy.ml are still up. It’s just the DNS record that’s gone.
  
  You can point those domains to the correct IP by editing your hosts file.
  
  On windows it’s located in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
  
  On mac, in /private/etc/hosts
  
  On linux, in /etc/hosts
  
  Add the following to the bottom:
  
  188.114.96.12 lemmy.fmhy.ml 54.36.178.108 lemmy.ml
  
  This is a temporary workaround. The federation is probably screwed anyway, so there’s no point in posting any new content there, but it’s good enough to back up your subscriptions or posts.

    Hell, having the IPs is sufficient enough, no need for the hosts hack.
