I think chapo.chat currently isn't federating , and i think i saw that chapo.chat was just a temporary move since it has the same problem of going to expire due to an admin disappearing.

Admin ping to bring awareness of this situation.
Hopefully they see this post to add the new domain to the "Do Not Federate" list.
Edit: Wording.
Really hoping they do. This could go very badly if they switch to the new domain and all the servers who defederated them are now suddenly federated again.
It would be good if Lemmy had an option to do it by IP as well, though I guess one already can by using their server's firewall to block all traffic to that IP on the Lemmy server.
It would be pretty trivial to get a new public IP, so blocking by it isn't the best course of action.
Static IPs you have to pay for them though if I'm not mistaken. They can get new ones but it would cost them.
I don't see the benefit of a static IPv4 though, with Dynamic DNS. Just have your router update the entry on getting a new IP (FritzBoxes have that builtin) or let a small program on the server doing that job. I have both.
They have no interest in federating with lemmy.blahaj.zone, I’m pretty sure they have you blacklisted
Well considering this instance does block Hexbear, they probably don't want to leave it up to chance like that. Which is why I'm letting them know.
