Could users set a temporary entry in their hosts file pointing the .ml domains to public IPs in order to regain access to their account if they needed to?
Can Lemmy federate to an IP address directly or will the settings only accept an fqdn?
Will a Lemmy instance work behind a reverse proxy.
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions.
There are several problem with this including total lack of SSL without the proper cert for that other domain, also Lemmy.ml's IP seems to be running a reverse proxy so the internal IP that we would want to connect to is not visible to the world this is common for web security, the owners must set allowed domains and ports in their config file.
If none of that was a problem Lemmy itself does not do well with changing domains, as highlighted here: https://lemmy.nrd.li/comment/190200
Sorry that I couldn't answer more of your questions.
