Unfortunately the obvious ones are already taken (lemmy.social, lemmy.org) or incredibly expensive (lemmy.com). Do you have any other ideas for a good domain? Or alternatively, we could just go with lemmy.ml.
I mean most of country domains restriction are not enforced that’s why the articles like you posted yourself are so surprising. .my is relatively common TLD and I couldn’t find any news on seizure of .my domains yet.
lemmy.io/ lem.my /and lemmy.ml is just fineedit: ok, no, lem.my is clearly best, since domain hacks are always better :)
I do also love domain hacks but .my is Malaysia and I think they may enforce community standards in ways that might not go well.
what do you mean specifically?
most domains that are country specific are almost never used for their “intended” purpose, e.g.
.ai,.io,.as,.ggetcwell, .sy and .ly have been problems: https://slate.com/technology/2012/08/art-sys-syrian-domain-name-could-the-company-be-violating-u-s-sanctions.html
I’m trying to find the example I vaguely remember of a website that had a picture of a woman in a tank top that got taken down
https://mashable.com/2010/10/06/vbly-domain-seizure/ here we go
Thanks, thats actually really important. Once we turn on federation, it will be impossible to change the domain.

I think that they’re structuring milestones for a grant they got, so it might be cool to see that laid out. (No rush from me)
Do you have any evidence for
.mydomains? Seems like it’s highly unlikelyWhy is your prior that it’s unlikely?
There’s differing information out there about a Malaysian presence being required, too

.cathas to have Catalan affiliation, which is why nyan.cat has a Catalan translation
