Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren’t there more with more common TLDs?

Just to clear something up, CalcKey is now known as Firefish(.social) and that’s run by a completely different person.
calckey.world (which runs firefish. firefish.world was afaik taken before they became aware of the rebranding) is ran by the same person as mastodon.world and lemmy.world, i assume that’s what they’re referring to
.world is *a* firefish instance. not the main firefish instance (which is .social).
so when I said, “it’s not the same person running it” - the flagship instance, if you will, is .social. many of the main people coding it are on .social (afaik). .world is just another instance.
that was i meant, if i need to clarify : the main main people coding-wise are not the same. the flagship instance (which is not .world) is not run by the same people as the mastodon flagship instance.
