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.
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.
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.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

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.

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.

With GoDaddy. I guess they use some kind of broker/ holding company.
Oh interesting ok thanks!
