Out of the loop, what happened to vlemmy?
Actual answer:
The admin just kinda wiped everything without any announcement. Shut down donation links and all. As far as I've heard nobody ever figured out why.
must have been the one seized by the FBI for CSAM that I was hearing about—but don’t quote me on that

Are you thinking of the mastodon based Kolektiva.social? The server hosting it was apparently seized by the FBI for an unrelated raid on the owner of the instance. There wasn't anything related to CSAM in that situation though
The server wasn't raided, the person being raided had an unencrypted backup of the instance database on their personal computer, which got seized in a raid unrelated to the Mastodon server.
You're the admin now, Dog
You have now became a digital ronin.
lemmy.fmhy.ml?
Edit: I mean this one isn't gone forever, they're just gonna have to get a new domain. I'm guessing it's Vlemmy like someone else already said.
They say that. But lemmy/the fediverse really doesn't allow domain name changes...
What happened to them?
.ml domain names are being taken back by the mali government
What do you mean with taken back? Don't they need to… give it away for someone to get a ML domain?
And what about vlemmy?
The rules set by the registrar are that any ml domain needs to be used for something relating to Mali. Presumably you could run a Lemmy instance that has a focus on Malian content and keep using the domain within the rules, but the way Lemmy.ml was using it was obviously not.
@jonne@infosec.pub is right about the .ml part, as for vlemmy, one day it just stopped existing. nobody knows why. some people are theorising that the admin did not want to moderate and shut the instance down.
Do you have any sources because that sounds very weird
.ml top-level domain got taken back by the Mali Government ".ml" stands for Mali
Edit: lemmy.ml is still up either because the Mali Government haven't gotten to them yet (lemmy.ml is after fmhy.ml in alphabetical order) or maybe they paid for the domain instead of getting a free domain like lemmy.fmhy.ml did.
Isn't the fediverse fragile long-term wise from a structural point of view? I have this feeling that a ton of small lemmy instances will die over the years taking content away (I don't expect this will happen with lemmy.world). Is this something that could happen? Will it be a problem?
One way to deal with it is to add an easy way to transfer users and posts from one instance to another. I'm pretty sure there are tickets about it, but I don't know what's the status of it.
I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.
Text is federated between instances while images are hosted on the home instance assuming you didn't just embed an image from somewhere else like Imgur. I dont believe lemmy hosts any videos, but that might just be an instance admin thing.
It's possible I'm wrong!! I'm still learning about the mechanics of the fediverse
It is stored on the instance. If the instance goes, the content is gone too.
I don't know exactly will something be cached, but even if it is, eventually it will be invalidated too.
Could we do something like a central ledger for users that an instance could opt in to hosting but still isn't controlled centrally?
Representing the quorum in some kind of logical chain of consensus-derived blocks, you say?
Rip vlemmy
