As the title says, I'm ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like "Lemmy.World" and "sh.itjust.works", I really want to come up with something good. Unfortunately after thinking it over for three days now and checking tons of names for availability, I don't feel any closer to deciding on a name. It doesn't help that almost all the dictionary words are sold at premium rates these days, even with a fairly obscure tld. Any name suggestions or techniques for choosing a good name would be appreciated. It probably sounds silly but this part just isn't my strong suit and I'm frustrated that it's holding up the project.

Is it for a general instance or perhaps a specific niche/topic? Either way, anything short and simple is enough. Most people don't like typing long addresses.

    What do you think of fdr8.us? Then I could do some subdomains off of it like lemmy.fdr8.us and mastodon.fdr8.us.

    I like it. You could make that work.
