The fact that it has not been bought as soon as the domain expired makes me believe this instance went down before the trend started
I'm actually not really clear on what the status of that instance is. Like, for me, when I browse to https://pathfinder.social, I actually see what looks like an empty Lemmy instance running 0.18.2. Some communities show the same for me, while others show a generic error message. So I don't know whether it's running in some failed state due to caching, or deregistered, or what.
That's really really weird, I cannot resolve the domain to an IP, even after trying a bunch of different DNS servers. If you're on linux, can you run
nslookup pathfinder.social
and paste the output here ?I'm not, but I do have WSL installed. It returned "Can't find pathfinder.social: No answer"
Out of interest, I tried the same command in Microsoft PowerShell, I get:
That's the full output. No actual list of returned addresses.
I'm guessing my system just has pathfinder.social cached.
Yeah, this probably has to do with the cache. You can try opening dev tools (F12 in most browsers), go to the network tab, and browse to pathfinder.social. You should see all requests going out, including "fake requests" to content that you already have locally cached
Oh neat, I'd never thought of that before. Woulda been handy back last time I was working on a PWA!
200 OK (from service worker)
So yeah, getting it from the cache.
There is even a "Ignore cache" box in the devtools network tab
