Random Thought: People should pay (way) more attention to the domain name when creating a lemmy instance.

I think people should pay (way) more attention to the domain name when creating a Lemmy instance. This is, of course, for admins of instances.

Instances such as lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemm.ee and such are just so unfriendly, in the name, that I think they do a disservice to Lemmy. They end up splitting the community. Due to the weird domain names, there will be privacy.lemmy.dbzer0.com, but the domain is just so unfriendly that people will also create privacy.lemmy.world and privacy.lemmy.ml and etc and it just creates unnecessary friction.

If you are considering creating a lemmy instance, please, please, think of the domain name. You cannot change it later!

What is the best way to find a community on which to post something?

Sometimes, I want to post something and I wonder "what is the right community for this?". I know about lemmyverse.net but I feel like mobile apps (android in my case) need some sort of "community list", so we can easily browse/search for the appropriate community.

I am currently using Eternity/Boost, and neither seem to have that. Or am I missing it somehow?

I find that this is one of the main issues of lemmy/federation.
