Can someone buy and donate it to us? :D
Feel like lemmy.com should just redirect to https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Not a bad idea, however I would prefer https://lemmyverse.net/ if so.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
If money wasn’t an issue for me I would do it in an “instant” lul.
How do I donate to this cause?
Well lmk if you start collecting!
If anything, it should be a malaysian .my TLD so it just ends up being
lem.myinstead, but seeing as the entire point of the Fediverse is that there’s no one central authority figure, this whole thing seems silly. 🤣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.
Yeah, but when did ‘most common’ matter to a social network trying to push a totally different paradigm of federation?
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.
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.

Lmao I wouldn’t even be surprised if he already bought it.
Or .world! Sounds very general too ;-) You could even setup a general Mastodon server on a .world, betcha it would work!
“.com” stands for “Commercial”. I’d like if that wasn’t the goal of any Lemmy instances
Valid thought, but I doubt anyone really thinks about .com as commercial these days.
For me .com is just “oh that’s an international website”

Is that how much it would cost? How did you find out?

eh, it would just end up overwhelmed with users like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw.org.
