It would be dope if we had "lemmy.com" as a general instance
Can someone buy and donate it to us? :D
Lol, I love the spirit. However lemmy.org is for sale for 6666,00, so I don't even want to think about how much lemmy.com would cost. If I understand correctly it's owned by GoDaddy atm.

Or .world! Sounds very general too ;-) You could even setup a general Mastodon server on a .world, betcha it would work!
If anything, it should be a malaysian .my TLD so it just ends up being lem.my instead, but seeing as the entire point of the Fediverse is that there's no one central authority figure, this whole thing seems silly. 🤣
Actually, I thought about getting lem.my and make an instance with it (there are ways to rent it even if you don't live in malaysia and it's not too expensive) but tbh I think websitename.com would be the better option because it's the most common format.
eh, it would just end up overwhelmed with users like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw.org.

I'm honestly surprised nobody has bought this domain yet. Unless all the domain registrars list it at some ludicrous price.
Valid thought, but I doubt anyone really thinks about .com as commercial these days.
For me .com is just "oh that's an international website"
