Backup Plans if Lemmy.ml domain gets reclaimed
Hi all,
As you may or may not know, .ml domains may be getting seized by the Mali government. As such, we may need to launch the community on another instance. Here's a few options I've considered:
- Lemmy.world - The "big" instance besides lemmy.ml. Although the Fediverse is supposed to be distributed.
- Midwest.social - I don't think many people would consider Louisville "South" unlike other parts of Kentucky.
- Launching mylem.alachian.app - I'll be running a server for another project here soon and I can throw this one up as well. Although, it'll be a trial by fire
- Some other instance
What do you all think?
