Every time I browse https://lemmyverse.net, I see one of the top instances in terms of registered users is https://enterprise.lemmy.ml. Right now it has 54.2k users, putting it behind lemmy.world and ahead of lemmy.ml. However, if I go there, there's almost no content, even on All (which implies it's not federated). Is it a test instance with fake users or something?

Looks like a test instance. URLs are read from the end to the beginning, so enterprise.lemmy.ml is a domain controlled by lemmy.ml. As that is the instance that the main developers control, it would follow they have a testing environment. In addition. Almost all the posts, users, and communities seem to have "test" as part of their name. It being the instance controlled by the developers is why lemmy.ml is always a link, while lemmy.world would need to be formatted as a link to get a link.

That has nothing to do with it being a "instance controlled by the developers". .world simply won't be auto-linked since it's a too common of a word (my guess anyway).

usually you can type in any valid url and it will link them.

google.com test.gov whateever.ch

but it will never work with ".world"

anything.world

.world is a newer gTLD whereas .ml is a more well known country code TLD. whatever auto linking code the lemmy UI uses likely just isn't up to date with all these comparatively recent TLDs

Could also be the case, but there is like 1600 TLDs these days, ranging from foo.accountants to bar.walmart (just testing if they autolink, I don't think they will. edit: they didn't).

Maybe at somepoint it makes sense to exclude some of the more common terms to avoid accidental linking by people that don't use spaces after punctuation (I hate them). But could also just be an up-to-date issue, I'm just speculating.
