      Really weird.

      dynu.com is a dynamic dns service. I don’t think the maintainer of vlemmy.net would be running the instance from a dhcp (variable) IP, to justify using dynamic dns.

      Or is it usual for people to run instances from their homes using common ISP subscriber variable IP addresses?

      Even more strange that it was registered just last month, according to whois. Is vlemmy.net that new?

        Aren’t many of these instances a product of the reddit migration? I don’t expect the one I’m on to be much older.

      The server isn’t malfunctioning. Rather, the name vlemmy.net isn’t given you the IP address of the server anymore. Does anyone have the IP? We could test if the server is still there.

        Could be a dns server malfunctioning (or rather misconfiguration).

        After all, “it’s always DNS”
