FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

How did it happen and what does this mean for me as a user of lemmy.ml who also follows people on lemmy.world?

Not a whole lot - you might see some spam being federated from lemmy.world but I'd expect the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world admins will fix it, and them clean it up.

That's probably good stress test to figure out how to handle that.
