This doesn't solve the main problem thought, in which the instance can no longer federate with other instance via activitypub. You can't expect other instances to manually override their DNS in order to federate with fmhy again. Also, https will break as soon as their current certificate expires, at which point no instances can federate with fmhy even with dns override.
Hopefully this issue will force activitypub developers to rethink their approach with domain handling.
They might have to implement a "domain change" thing like username change. It might be huge work
