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!

Sadly I just checked and beans.social is taken so I’m all out of timeless name ideas.

Lemmy.pw is short and recognizable. That would be my pick.

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)
