In case anyone stumbles across this, the problem was that the entity that manages .icu domains received an abuse report and suspended my domain.

This is strange because I only use the domain for personal experimentation and none of that is just for static websites. DNS records for mail are properly configured like all of my other domains.

I asked Namecheap what the reason was. They said none was provided and it may take some time to get a reply back upon requesting the info. I asked them to put in a request for the reason.

My guess is that I was just in a massive list of domains that someone started reporting. or maybe someone was trying to get my domain taken out so they could take it for themself.

I wonder what changed. The login bug has been gone for me for a while now.

Wow, whoever owns kbin.world forwarded it to lemmy.world. 😐

@Sam_uk Thanks for making me take another look. When I go to https://kbin.world/ it forwards me to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

So I guess it wasn't bringing me to the lemmy domain, just to view the lemmy community through kbin.

@Sam_uk, nice! Thanks. I was on an IP somewhere in the US (VPN). So maybe I got a different result today being on a different IP. At least I know what is going on at kbin.world now. It all makes sense :-)

@Holyginz, I would think you can do like on kbin, since it seems like the standard. Just guessing. Go to the user page on your instance then follow them.

To get to the user page go to:

https://yourInstance.social/u/@[email protected]

For you go to https://lemmy.world/u/@[email protected]

It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. ( kbin.social )

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....

Definitely a clunky term. It will be interesting to see what the feds come up with. Lets see if that catches on :-D

Seriously, I'm sure something good will emerge.

Bang links work for users on Kbin.

If that is Lemmy creating the URL or kbin seeing the bang format and using it, I don't know... off to find out :-)

edit: experimenting here !kbin
edit2: I think Lemmy is creating a regular link out of that. My bang above was not auto converted on kbin.

Good question. Not ignorant. The one thing we use all the time but never think of as federated is email. Multiple users from different providers can reply all and everyone gets a copy. That is one way to help think about how the fediverse works. People using kbin and Lemmy have replied in this thread. We all see it. we are just using different providers/software to read and reply in the fediverse.

Others have already commented well on funding.

Whenever I upload online, I use Scramble. It has come in handy.
