With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?

You could also choose a 5-10 digit .xyz domain, those cost ~~$~~€0.85

How about zyx.wvutsrqponmlkjihgf.edcba.abcde.fghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz

Very catchy

Weird, because I've had an .xyz domain for years, and after the first year the price goes up.
