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?

    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.
