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 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, .gg etc

            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 .my domains? Seems like it’s highly unlikely

              Why is your prior that it’s unlikely?

              There’s differing information out there about a Malaysian presence being required, too

                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.

                  fun side note: .cat has to have Catalan affiliation, which is why nyan.cat has a Catalan translation

                    hahah, my website http://wisdom.cat/about actually has patched in translation too 😄 Though in all fairness I made it I was staying in Catalonia if that counts 🤔
