If we are doing play one instance names. Then I would like one named lemmy.know. As in "let me know"

That's not a valid top level domain (TLD). Only specific letter combinations are valid. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains (technically you can apply to create a new TLD, but there's a lot of rules and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars).

The closest existing TLD I can think of is Norway's .no (lemmy.no).

You need to be resident of Norway to get .no though.
