Can’t post images because they’re too big so here’s imgur: https://imgur.com/a/Fm52ZTB

Edit: lemmy.ml and lemmy.world seem to have come back, I’m just a bit worried that it’s another one of those hacks.

Edit 2: Most of those I’ve tried came back. reddthat.com and sh.itjust.works seems to still be down

    For those affected by these outages in the larger servers and who’d be interested in helping spread around: my instance will be free for the first 250 registrations. There are ~220 spots still left.

    The catch is that my registration process is (purposefully) difficult to avoid squatters/spammers/bots. So you need to do one of the following:

    • sign up to my main portal site first. If you do that, please give your email address so that I can send a confirmation with the first credentials.
    • signup to communick.news directly, and send me a DM on reddit (/u/rglullis), or here, or on mastodon) with the username you used to signup. If you don’t send the DM, I will assume it’s a bot and will deny the application.

    Edit: downvoters, please don’t be so cynical. I’ve been offering this even before the reddit blackout. What is so bad about it?

    Here is the reason for lemmy.fmhy.ml

    https://very.bignutty.xyz/notes/9hf13it1ced3b2za

    • .ml domains (the one fmhy.ml was on) has been reclaimed by the Mali government
    • Freenom is also being sued by Meta (and has been for the past few months)
    • Both of these have resulted in fmhy, along with a lot of other domains, to be unresolvable
    • Changing domains will cause us to have to refederate and start mostly from scratch (although we might be able to transfer posts and users)

        Freenom in a domains registrar that gives out ‘free’ domains for up to a year. They were the registrar for .ml domains until this happened.
