Please create a new account on monero.town and post your old (or new) monero.town username with your monero.house account in this thread.
I am sorry for the hassle, Lemmy completely breaks down if the domain name changes, which was sadly necessary because the old .house domain was creating huge trouble (it was used by a russian crypto scam in 2018 and is thus on many, many blocklists).
monero.house will start redirecting to monero.town by the end of the month.
By this point you wont be able to use your monero.house account anymore so please act quickly!
Of course you don’t need to pay the XMR registration fee again if you have already done so on house.
If you come to this thread after monero.house has started redirecting to monero.town either do the usual social media verification again or if you have paid with XMR and still have the tx_id, provide that again. If you paid with XMR and don’t have the tx_id anymore, contact @monerobull:matrix.org on matrix.
This is a one-time thing, I don’t expect that we will ever have to do something like this again.
I plan for Monero.Town to stick around for a long time.
Perfect execution on my terrible instructions, approved 😆
Success! Just wondering, is it possible to replicate the existing communities and posts from the old instance?
Also additionally, I tried Jerboa with just using monero.town as the instance url and it worked straight away with no changes. Seems the DNS blocking was the issue.
Posts could technically be crossposted but any links to the instance will break once the house server shuts down. Since many posts are mostly relevant at the time they were posted, reposting them weeks later also just doesnt make much sense imop. I would have restored everything if it was as simple as migrating the database but since that isn’t the case, might as well start fresh!
Communities can be created by anyone, I didn’t do many pre-created ones this time to have them srping up more organically :)
It’s great to finally have a clean domain.
Seems like I can’t read any posts on any other community. No matter which one, as soon as I log out or visit their community on their Lemmy instance I can see all the comments in a thread. Is this normal?
Existing comments dont get loaded in if they were made before federation started, I saw the same thing happening when I first enabled federation on house. New ones should show up though :)
Oh cool good to know, so just give it some time and all new comments should load in fine.
Exactly :)
