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?
newer tlds are cheaper and you can get cooler names
More desirable domains available and significantly lower costs are a couple of reasons that come to mind…
I’m going to guess cost plays at least some part. Obscure TLDs are usually cheaper.
I’m surprised there aren’t more .app/.dev given Porkbun is giving them out for free.
Are they? How?
Thanks, I checked on the website directly and didn’t see that offer!
I was just looking for a funny name and came up with waste-of.space
It is 3x more expensive than a .be (my countries TLD) but I like it.
You’d have to come up with a pun that’s ends in be to change, and that’s just not OK :D
Waste-of.be just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Because we can.
Surely you mean
Because ICANN
Yes, your way is better. Take my begrudging upvote.
