  Yes. It doesn’t outright kill an instance, but it’s definitely a major inconvenience and a learning opportunity.

  It’s my understanding that this isn’t possible. Migrating domains in Lemmy is not supported though it is possible with some very hacky solutions like you’re describing. But the old domain needs to be retained indefinitely as a pointer to the domain or it will break federation with other instances. If they lost control of the domain then federation will break. They can potentially migrate users and posts, but it is effectively like resetting and starting over as a new instance.

  I’m now wondering what happens if the Mali government (or someone else) begins using those domains with their own lemmy instance, potentially with malicious content.

  Would the instances they’ve federated with begin ingesting and serving that content automatically? Or would that be blocked due to key mismatch?

  Do you realize that boomers are the ones who literally made the Internet?

  Not the ones that I work with though.
