Maybe hosting communities here isn't a good idea after all (self.home)

After all, don't many platforms (or heck, browsers) render .zip URLs nonfunctional due to security concerns? Meaning our community.lemmy.zip links may not automatically hyperlink when we want them to, or it may trigger security risk popups. Whoops. Feel free to correct me.

Is it possible to change our instances url at this point? Like to lemmy.zippy? Or lemmy.z1p?

Or is it too late at this point without just starting everything again?

It would have to be a valid TLD to change to, like .com etc. There is a list here of all the tlds that can be used at the moment.

In terms of starting again, I'm not entirely sure. You could point a new url here easily enough, but there would have to be changes in the database to change the hardcoded url, instance name etc, then these would need to be propagated and I dont know enough about ActivityPub protocols to know if that would be valid or not.
