you could open the terminal and type ping -c 1 lemmy.ml which will send an echo request to lemmy and see if it replies, and will also tell you what IP address your computer is currently resolving the name to. if it is an IP address other than 51.38.185.90 then you are dealing with DNS censorship which is usually easy to circumvent by using a different DNS server. if it has the correct IP and some error message or a timeout, that would be interesting.
if you want to paste the output of that command here, to copy text from the terminal to your clipboard you can use ctrl-shift-c (instead of ctrl-c like in other programs, because in the terminal ctrl-c by itself sends an interrupt signal to the running program).
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
lemmy.ml currently appears to be hosted on a French OVH IP address (51.38.185.90).
Do you know who is blocking it, or why?!
Hopefully it is just DNS blocking, so you could circumvent it by using a different DNS server?

Midwest.social is hosted in Germany. We don’t federate with lemmygrad or wolfballs though.
Can account migration be done from one instance to another? If yes, how?
why would you really need it? What’s wrong with making a new account?
Unfortunately, no, not yet.
sopuli.xyz is hosted in finland and is general instance

Do you use global timeline/feed? not the local one, right? Local one is almost always the default
