Hey folks, the title says it all… I am on the brink to open my own Lemmy instance and I’m looking for a name. I already own the following unused domains:

-lemmy.pw -voom.social -zeebo.social

Maybe you can even suggest a completely different name? The instance will be a general one.

Thanks!

    While looking at various TLDs, these kinda’ wrote themselves… for better or worse:-)

    lemmy.tell.the.world

    lemmy.is.life

    your.lemmy.host

    lemmy.is.fun : I do like this one…

      Yeah I don’t think this is feasible.

      You’d have to own is.world, is.fun, is.life, the.world

      Those domain names are almost certainly already taken, and the owners will probably charge quite a lot to buy it

    How do you search to see what’s available? I assume anti.social is not available.

      I usually use namecheap because they have a mode that just queries a bunch of tld’s

      that would be something you do when registering a domain. you enter what you want and the thing tells you whether it’s available – or you can use one of the domain checker sites that do the same thing, or run a DNS query yourself and see if it resolves with NXDOMAIN (although that might be wrong, i’m not completely up to date on the details of this one)

    I like the names seent.it or seent.online. I probably would have picked one of those if I hadn’t decided on sedd.it for my instance.

      Oh that’s yours? I was just on the map site to try and find an instance near me and liked your name so I tried to sign up and your signup form says I need to know you.

      And now I’m sad.

        I will probably open it up once I get it to a place where I’m happy with it.

          Sweet! I’ll check back after awhile.

          Out of curiosity, how’s you score a .it domain? I have one, but only because I have family in the EU. IIRC, it was a pain in the pass to get, had to jump through a bunch of hoops to “authenticate” being in the EU.

    I have used a Chatbot hence the redundancy. Made small modifications, it’s a start.
