This is due to wanting to separate the lemmy flagship instance from the onboarding site.

    This will also hopefully solve the issue with spam filters not liking the .ml domain!

      Only for the join site, not for this instance.

        Still a good thing. Now people can link to the join site and then be redirected to this or any other instance!

        I do really like how lemmy.ml rolls off the tongue though, it definitely grew on me. Not sure if I’d ever want to change that just because of some spam filters tbh.

          Same, its short and I’m used to it now… the only things it’d be worth to change to would be like .org or .com, and those are owned or incredibly expensive.

            Honestly, blocking TLDs is a really dumb way of spam filtering. Pretty much all the spam/scam sites I’ve seen are on paid TLDs anyway.

            Also, fuck domain flipping. I hate it when people try to sell domains at ludicrous prices. It only harms the internet as a whole and accomplishes nothing of value.

              fuck domain flipping.
