  • Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.

    But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.

    .ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).


  • The American is how it is supposed to be.

    The British one has the “color” changed changed to “colour” due to British spelling of color.

    The Spanish one has an upside down semi colon because in Spanish you write questions like this: ¿Is this an example question?

    The French one is because the French number system makes absolutely no sense and to say 99 you have to say quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (meaning 4 x 20 + 19).

    I hope this helps somehow.
