I see that lemmy.ml is the only major instance currently reachable over IPv6. When will lemmy.world join the modern internet?

Why does it matter? Actually curious.

The more servers have IPv6 support the more it will become the standard and we can finally switch to it instead of IPv4.

Now why you'd wanna switch, the main reason is there are far too few IPv4 addresses available for every device to actually have a unique IPv4 address, and that results in all sorts of headaches.
