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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds like the best, I'll stick with it. Thank you!

How do you search to see what's available? I assume anti.social is not available.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I usually use namecheap because they have a mode that just queries a bunch of tld's

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

lemmie.org

lemmie.io

lemmy.kiwi

seafootball wouldn't be a bad name

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@AlecSadler @seafootball Or seasoccer depending on what side if the pond you are from 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How about something less direct like: OffTheCliff.social

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

zombo.social because I just learned about zombo.com

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmyin.org

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

And now I’m sad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I will probably open it up once I get it to a place where I'm happy with it.

[–] humancrayon 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lemmy.in would have been fun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@seafootball Was it hard to get it up and running?

Also, pewpew-lemmy.pw sounds fun to me =P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently setup one up and it wasn’t difficult.

Biggest issue for me was user error where I didn’t think about needing an smtp service to send emails. So just got a free one that allows 300/day

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where are you hosting it and what’s the cost? I’d spin one up if it wasn’t too expensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Self host on an old desktop I turned into a headless Linux server. So no cost unless you factor in wattage but my servers already running a number of other applications.
