How odd. Could it be an account hack? Server malfunction?
Really weird.
dynu.com is a dynamic dns service. I don't think the maintainer of vlemmy.net would be running the instance from a dhcp (variable) IP, to justify using dynamic dns.
Or is it usual for people to run instances from their homes using common ISP subscriber variable IP addresses?
Even more strange that it was registered just last month, according to whois. Is vlemmy.net that new?
If you’re self hosting at home yes dyn dns is far cheaper, and from a users perspective there’s no difference
