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.

My ISP screwed something up last month and no one in my county got an IPv4 address / route for close to 6 hours. Meanwhile, IPv6 worked flawlessly.

Would you not still be able to reach a website over IPv4 even if your IP is IPv6? I know almost nothing about networks, sorry.

Possible but not “out of the box”, per se. some technological assistance is needed and if it doesn’t already exist within your own or your ISPs infrastructure it’s beyond the capabilities of a typical consumer.
