Has vlemmy.net lost its domain name?

Dude, this sucks. I signed up for a couple of instances, but that was my main one.

So if it’s gone and unable to come back are all those comments and posts we made there just gone?

Just sign up on small instances to distribute the load they said... 🙃

I do hope they take back their domain name before someone parks it.

This is one of many reasons I tell people not to become overly attached to their Lemmy accounts. You don't know what or who's hosting your instance and it could just abruptly disappear overnight.

this was rather a big instance no?

I'm thinking it might be down for good, all of the donation links go to closed accounts

Welp, that sucks, but on the bright side, you can always find a home in the vast fediverse.

Damn that was the first instance that I signed up for.

Doesn't look good as the domain goes to a parked page.

Time to build a new account I guess

This is my main instance. Been solid for weeks since I signed up. I’m using my first from .one now. Not sure where to go for Q&A. Is there a Discord, Mastodon, Gangnam Style’s comment section on YouTube I can goto??

Oops that's not good, I can't access it either

I was moderating my small community on vlemmy, and have posted several markdown-heavy things I would like to back up in case I were to move instances. Gladly, that was possible with lemmy.world cache (for everything but pics).

New anxiety unlocked:

Open Mastodon / Lemmy client
Find it eternally spinning
Slight panic

First time on Mastodon it turned out to be temporarily, new with vlemmy, I fear for the worst.

Welp... That was where I created the main account I was using.

I thought the server must have been down or something since it's weekend. Admin of that instance was asking for help regarding administrators for running the instance.

Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?

I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!

Rip my main account I guess. Hopefully it comes back.

Edit: I don't see it listed on join-lemmy.org atm

Bummer, had a second account I set up recently there.

And here's me owning lemmy.cfd with nothing do use it for, so I'm just routing it to a community lookup

This was meant to be a reply.

Well there goes my main account!

i was going to wait a day or two to see if it came back but it looks like it's still down, made this alt on feddit like 2 minutes ago hoping for vlemmy to come back lol

dammit now im gonna have to resubscribe to like 50 communties
