If anything, it should be a malaysian .my TLD so it just ends up being lem.my instead, but seeing as the entire point of the Fediverse is that there’s no one central authority figure, this whole thing seems silly. 🤣
Actually, I thought about getting lem.my and make an instance with it (there are ways to rent it even if you don’t live in malaysia and it’s not too expensive) but tbh I think websitename.com would be the better option because it’s the most common format.
Most common = Following standard conventions such as .com means the site will be easier for people to remember and explain to others, which help the fediverse catch on with a larger group of people. Extreme example, but domains like www.lemmy7-16tpl58wow.mom would only hurt the cause.

Yeah, but when did ‘most common’ matter to a social network trying to push a totally different paradigm of federation?

I’ll likely be spinning up a “.social” instance.
It seems silly to me to name an instance after the engine that makes the car go.
