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?

    A ton of new tlds became available a few years ago. A lot of newer sites use them, not just Lemmy servers. Older sites that have already been established for a while will obviously be using the standard endings, so if you compare lemmy sites vs well-known sites that have been around for a while, then that’s the reason.
