There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

Iโ€™ve seen:

  • .ml
  • .social
  • .world
  • .cuz

Is it due to cheaper registration and/or renewal fees? Or are there simply more availability on those TLDs?

Not an expert, but to me it simply seems that you can have more domains that start with Lemmy.

I think theyre cheaper. Due to being the standard, .com, .org etc are more sought after.
