Awesome! Good to have a service start off with IPv6 instead of have to add it later!

Yay! This seems like a good choice of instance for the first Lemmy IPv6 community.
Hello! Digital Ocean has an option for letting me use an IPv6 address but I don't know enough about networking to know what the implications are of upgrading. I chose not to host https://fanaticus.social on IPv6 initially because I didn't know if there were going to be any incompatibilities with lemmy. Can anyone here educate me?
Shouldn't be any incompatibilities as lemmy.world is IPv6 enabled
Thanks! What about DNS? I'd imagine that I'll need to update my DNS to point to my new IPv6 address.
Yes, you'll need to add an AAAA record along side your current A record
Great news.
