What should I name my Firefish instance

What should I name my Firefish instance - Lemmy.world

I run a server https://calckey.world [https://calckey.world] , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain. I have remembered these options suggested to me so far: - dartfish.world (a sort of fish similar to the firefish) - fedifish.world - fire-fish.world - f-fish.world Any other suggestions? Or do you like one of the above?

fedifish.world sounds nice to me.

Fedifish sounds the best out of the given options I think.

i second this! fedifish sounds the nicest and the most fitting.

fedifish sounds so serious though, and having"fediverse" in every fediverse instance’s name is kinda boring

There are a lot of Firefish companies out there.

I worry a little that they’ll need to rebrand again in the not-too-distant future.

ruudfish.world

Fedifish sounds good. Definitely don’t use fire-fish, that would just confuse everyone into thinking they’re the same instance.

Side note: I’m really glad they rebranded. Calckey was such a weird name.

apparently .fish and .fishing are actual top level domains

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…
Show threadJumutaOct 2, 2023
maybe fish.fire is available?
Show threadNixOct 2, 2023
Fedifish sounds the best from those

grilled.fish ?

Do you have a reason to stick with the .world TLD?

Something like ruuds.world (“Ruud’s world”), or is that to corny? Or perhaps ruudscoffee.house, ruuds.pub or something like that?

Anyway, I suggest staying away from mentioning the software by name in the url given the cons (a hypothetical second rebrand, for example).

fieryfish.world seems to be available.

Personally would avoid calling yourself what everything else is called. Yet another fire/fedi/fetid/fish. Show your imagination and call it mullet or something, at the very least.

TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:

gefilte.fish
wearethe.world
fishkey.world

Something that hasn’t the word Fish in the name.

Was a domain for the firefish instance decided on yet? Was wondering if y’all were going to go with fedifish.world, firefish.mastodon.world or firefishkey.world
