Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? - Lemmy.world

I subconsciously felt that this “lemmy.world” instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

I created mastodon.world just because it sounded cool and it was available. The first banner I used for that was a 'Hello World' image so yes that was referring to scripting.

Later I registered some more .world domains like Lemmy.world (and calckey.world and some more yet to be launched)

Haha that’s awesome. Good luck with the new instances waiting to be launched!
