What Happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml? What Happens if an Instance Disappears?

Is there a way for me to at least retrieve my subscribed community list?

I’m not sure if fmhy.net has the same data.

This is a temporary workaround. The federation is probably screwed anyway, so there’s no point in posting any new content there, but it’s good enough to back up your subscriptions or posts.
