  • The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)

    Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)









  • The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

    • Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
    • Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
    • Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)
