Comment on What Happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml? What Happens if an Instance Disappears?
deafboy@lemmy.world 1 year agoBoth 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.
