Actually, I thought about getting lem.my and make an instance with it (there are ways to rent it even if you don’t live in malaysia and it’s not too expensive) but tbh I think websitename.com would be the better option because it’s the most common format.
Most common = Following standard conventions such as .com means the site will be easier for people to remember and explain to others, which help the fediverse catch on with a larger group of people. Extreme example, but domains like www.lemmy7-16tpl58wow.mom would only hurt the cause.

Yeah, but when did ‘most common’ matter to a social network trying to push a totally different paradigm of federation?

I’ll likely be spinning up a “.social” instance.
It seems silly to me to name an instance after the engine that makes the car go.
