Comment on Why do a lot of fediverse instances put their software (i.e. Lemmy/Mastodon) in their name somehow?

Yeah, I made a new subdomain “Lemmy” to www.mindoki.com.

I mean what should I have done? It’s a Lemmy server, not an instance so who knows what it’ll end up being. And dead.mindoki.com seems a bit too foreboding.

Cheers :-)

back in the day, it wasnt uncommon for people to use exchange.whatever.com for their email host, clearly exchange being the microsoft product.

i prefer either an abstract name (smurfs) or the something specific to its purpose.

in my ancient world view, www. is your website host, mail. is your email host, etc. a good generic for the fediverse would be something like social.mydomain.com

then if you change software, you don't have to lose connectivity.

i went loopy with moist.catsweat.com running mbin
