It makes it very hard to share lemmy and get more friends involved when I can’t actually link the main instance :(

    it’s probably the .ml domain. they should change it. i wonder of they own lemmy.social? would be good since most of the fediverse uses .social as the primary domain :)

      You can’t just change a federated domain

          It’s a technical thing that someone can probably explain in more detail, but once other instances start pointing toward your posts on lemmy.ml or whatever your domain is, then changing your domain later on will break that at minimum (there are probably worse consequences, but like I said I don’t know everything under the hood)

            so the choice is either break some older data, or be permanently at the disadvantage of a flagged url?

    lemmy.ml faces a fair bit outside resistance (I still can’t access my account as emails have not worked for months), but that’s really where federation should come in. It doesn’t have to be lemmy.ml, and shouldn’t always default to lemmy.ml.
