    I believe, feddit.de was first. Then the admin of feddit.it thought it was funny and copied it, and then it kind of became convention…

      For me feddit.uk stuck out as when I was joining Lemmy, (my initial choice was lemmy.world), it seemed like it would be a safe bet as it was clearly set up by UK based people that had also come from Reddit like myself, so it had a sense of familiarity. I’m guessing that’s why the other feddit.<tld> also became somewhat popular instances.
