I run a server https://calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain.
I have remembered these options suggested to me so far:
- dartfish.world (a sort of fish similar to the firefish)
- fedifish.world
- fire-fish.world
- f-fish.world
Any other suggestions? Or do you like one of the above?
fedifish.world sounds nice to me.
fedifish sounds so serious though, and having"fediverse" in every fediverse instance’s name is kinda boring

feedthe.fish
TIL .fish is an actual TLD apparently
Too bad fire.fish is also gone…
maybe fish.fire is available?
edit: apparently .fire is reserved for Amazon
Personally would avoid calling yourself what everything else is called. Yet another fire/fedi/fetid/fish. Show your imagination and call it mullet or something, at the very least.
I’m with this. Keep the
.world
TLD for continuity across your sites, but please, stop with the clichéd “fedi” stuff (that goes for anybody running an ActivityPub-based server!) and get imaginative on the rest. Fire fish? Flaming Mullet. Grilled Salmon. Go wild along that theme! Or give it a name that reflects the desired content. Or …
Fedifish sounds good. Definitely don’t use fire-fish, that would just confuse everyone into thinking they’re the same instance.
Side note: I’m really glad they rebranded. Calckey was such a weird name.
There are a lot of Firefish companies out there.
I worry a little that they’ll need to rebrand again in the not-too-distant future.
ruudfish.world
grilled.fish ?
Do you have a reason to stick with the .world TLD?
Something like ruuds.world (“Ruud’s world”), or is that to corny? Or perhaps ruudscoffee.house, ruuds.pub or something like that?
Anyway, I suggest staying away from mentioning the software by name in the url given the cons (a hypothetical second rebrand, for example).
TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:
gefilte.fish
wearethe.world
fishkey.worldSomething that hasn’t the word Fish in the name.
