I need help to decided on a name for my Lemmy instance

seafootball@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 16 points –

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!

How do you search to see what's available? I assume anti.social is not available.

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

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)
