I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that name. x3

Downloaded maps show up in the Cape of Distant Worlds, always. It's the portal in the water at the Lonely Cave. There, you should see a portal (or portals) in the distance, given you've downloaded custom maps.

If you want to make your own maps, you can refer to the following tutorial:

After you download a map, have the download file window open next to your FH file window. Just drag everything into the exports folder.

I'll keep alert for you I'll say "HI" :3
If you pasted the fhm. into exports if you restart the game and go to Cape of Distant worlds there should be a yellow glowing portal to go to the map you downloaded.

Does it say that when you try to enter the map in-game or load it in mapmaker?

Maybe the custom map is down? Try disabling water reflections and then enter the map. If this doesn't work, then it probably is. Also, if you seek a way to get your characters out of that loop of crashes, all you have to do is log onto the yellow-orange box at the top right of the site, then select Character Reset. Log in there, and click 'Go Home' for the locked characters.
