Well, first thing, you should read “allow list” as “federate ONLY with these instances”. Block list is the opposite of that, “DO NOT federate with this instance “.
Try removing everything from your allow and block lists and see what happens.
As far as I know, there isn’t an account migration mechanism in Lemmy yet. I’ve heard (fourth hand at best) that it is in the works but hasn’t been implemented yet. You may have to do it the hard way. Copy, paste and search.
Drama surrounding the .ml TLD.
Honestly, I’m a little suprised lemmy.ml is still up. lemmy.fmhy.ml has already gone down. This was what lead to me standing up my own instance.
Whoops! I did the title as a joke. I wonder what I goofed that caused it to become a link.
Following that link directly is giving me a server error, and it doesn’t bring anything except up in search except your comment. Is there a particular way I’m supposed to use it?

This is a post from their admin team. In short, the Mali government has taken back their domain space. Right now, for me, FMHY is kinda up, but mostly down. Nothing really works, but I can occasionally see my feed (up to date, too), and if I click on any links I get a timed out error.
Yea!!! It’s working! I can see this post from lemmy.world’s public feed. That was quick.
That sounds like an overloaded server. If you not willing to put up your own server, you might try a few of the smaller public instances.
There is only so much traffic the larger instances can handle, and right now it seems like everyone and every community is on only a handful.
