Sadness :(
This sends me on a rabbithole to discover new top level domains (.org .com .world) are added in rounds. The last one was in 2012. The next is NEXT YEAR.
Would be amazing if we could get .lemmy but it would be hella expensive. $185k for application and 25k annually to keep it. Not sure if we can crowdsource such.
Blackjackandhookers.online and .community are still available though.
Lets get .fediverse
I always like the fact that the cTLD .uk exists and basically no one uses it. But I don't think anyone pays to keep that one around.
Maybe i am misunderstanding but that is the country code for the united kingdom and is one of the most popular in the world
This does include .co.uk .org.uk but the reason those exist is because you could not claim a pure .uk cTDL before 2014 because and this is an important piece of information for anyone looking to get a domain name. Countries can set the rules for their domain themselves; There have been instances (fmhy.ml) of governments revoking a registered domain, in this case because they discussed piracy.
We could always go for blackjackandhookers.vip
Has a classy sorta ring to it
It would honestly be better if people could all move off .world anyway. Simply to spread things out a little bit, and there's absolutely no downside.
Eh, screw the whole thing.
I'm pretty sure .world being slow is a web frontend problem. It often takes forever to load in my browser, but the same content loads quickly in the Voyager Android app.
I should probably try the several alternative web UIs they have available to see if they're faster than the default one, but I can't be bothered to walk over to my desktop PC right now.
It can't be the backend because it's got to query the same data whether it's feeding the web UI or Voyager, so that wouldn't explain the vast loading time differences between them. If the backend were slow they would both be slow, but Voyager's load times are great.
I went and found Yiffit originally because the more knowledgeable Lemmy gurus pointed out that everyone using 1 instance would bog things down. Makes sense, you know? Harder to serve everyone, especially if this whole thing is just up because of hobbyists and volunteers and not big mega corps with limitless funding, through 1 channel. Where big sites like Reddit split across multiple servers behind the scenes, Lemmy just allows you to manually control what servers you're using via the instance you're on. I'm big on choice, so this is hella rad IMO.
so have any of you played blackjack with hookers?? They can play, and no tells, you will lose your shirt there. Best to just stick to the casinos.
If I don't take my shirt off when hanging out with hookers, I must be doing something wrong.
Why do people tend to pile onto the same instance? Is there some benefit I’m missing?
Because of the fediverse partial mesh, leading to incomplete timeline view, or inconsistency depending the instance you’re on.
People tend to flock on primary, massive instances because they are well know of course, but also because this is where you have the most complete view, and from there your posts reaches many other instances.
Ah, I didn’t know about the incomplete timeline / mesh propagation issue. Sounds like a notable incentive.
Also different instances hide different communities and so they don't show up at all unless you are a direct subscriber.
I learned about this on my instance when some news communities were hidden, turns out my instance has quite a list of hidden communities, which isn't a bad thing, but it can contribute to the incomplete timeline issue and if you don't know about the hidden communities feature its very hard to diagnose why you're not seeing what you expect to see.
In my case I wasn't subscribed to some of the news communities because I would catch the top posts in /all, which keeps my subscribed feed focused on things I'm actively interested in. So hidden communities are a challenge when you use /all and /subbed in that way.
Great tip! Might save someone some time troubleshooting that issue.
Yes. Decentralization has many benefits.
