- fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
- As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial
- We have backups, so don't worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway)
Currently, we have fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

Prolly a noob question but why was the .ml TLD chosen in the first place?
It was free
I can see that it's enticing to get a free domain... But domain costs are trivial. Like $10 a year, why risk it?
Well, I guess they just learned the hard way
The scuttlebutt is that it's a inside joke by the far-left dev of lemmy to stand for marxist-leninist, but it's just as likely, if not more, that it was chosen because it's free.
Keep in mind that most (all?) two-letter TLDs are associated with a country. This includes stuff like
.io,.tv, and.me
