It makes it very hard to share lemmy and get more friends involved when I can’t actually link the main instance :(

      It’s a technical thing that someone can probably explain in more detail, but once other instances start pointing toward your posts on lemmy.ml or whatever your domain is, then changing your domain later on will break that at minimum (there are probably worse consequences, but like I said I don’t know everything under the hood)

        so the choice is either break some older data, or be permanently at the disadvantage of a flagged url?

          Idk enough about DNS and reverse proxy but maybe you could set up an alternate domain that redirects to the same exact site?
