Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn't been registering domains since Jan 1.

It's seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

Why is lemmy.ml still running, though?

Nobody really knows, but there are two theories floating around:

  • The Lemmy devs paid for their domain
  • Their DNS entries are still cached and it will stop working tomorrow
