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

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.

  • Not really, but I can easily see it now you point it out.

    I grabbed up my username on a few different instances, partly so I could compare experiences on each and keep it on my preferred server/s when the dust settles. I found .world right after .ca so my impression at the time was more literal, heh

    I do think devs/programmers (or at least the more tech-savvy) are likely a disproportionately big part of the fed space right now though, so you’ll find us all over. Lemmy/kbin are still buggy and not yet intuitive enough for the average user, and a lot of us tend to be early adopters.
