I need help to decided on a name for my Lemmy instance (lemmy.world)

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!

Lemme.think

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 17 points 2 years ago

Sadly I just checked and beans.social is taken so I'm all out of timeless name ideas.

[–] SaintOfIllusion@lemmy.one 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmy.pw is short and recognizable. That would be my pick.

[–] seafootball@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] midas@ymmel.nl 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 1 points 2 years ago

that would be something you do when registering a domain. you enter what you want and the thing tells you whether it's available -- or you can use one of the domain checker sites that do the same thing, or run a DNS query yourself and see if it resolves with NXDOMAIN (although that might be wrong, i'm not completely up to date on the details of this one)

I hear “crack.pipe” as a great name according to some self hosted users. /s

[–] Monologue@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

lemmie.org

lemmie.io

lemmy.kiwi

lemmy.lat

those are the ones that i could find

edit: or lemonparty.live for shits and giggles

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

Why are you like this?

/c/angryupvote

[–] AlecSadler@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

seafootball wouldn't be a bad name

[–] LordChaos82@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 2 points 2 years ago

zombo.social because I just learned about zombo.com

[–] carmeline@social.opendesktop.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] fraydabson@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] stown@sedd.it 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Lemmyin.org

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How about something less direct like: OffTheCliff.social

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

how about lemmings.social?

Roughled some feathers from the looks of it, good
