This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

People really do use Google Search to visit well-known websites instead of typing their names into the address bar (lemmy.world)

I do this when I don't remember if it's .com .net or whatever

Same, also if there’s any question if the URL might be something different than the company name, like containing a short form of a word, initialized, or a localization.

Though I think that’s different than what the posted graph states. I might sometimes get mixed up looking for a local company and not knowing if it’s .com or .ca. I’m pretty confident in getting the right URL for common sites like Facebook and Lemmy.
