Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs?

konalt@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 86 points –

Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren't there more with more common TLDs?

I'm going to guess cost plays at least some part. Obscure TLDs are usually cheaper.
