This sends me on a rabbithole to discover new top level domains (.org .com .world) are added in rounds. The last one was in 2012. The next is NEXT YEAR.
Would be amazing if we could get .lemmy but it would be hella expensive. $185k for application and 25k annually to keep it. Not sure if we can crowdsource such.
Blackjackandhookers.online and .community are still available though.
This does include .co.uk .org.uk but the reason those exist is because you could not claim a pure .uk cTDL before 2014 because and this is an important piece of information for anyone looking to get a domain name. Countries can set the rules for their domain themselves; There have been instances (fmhy.ml) of governments revoking a registered domain, in this case because they discussed piracy.

Lets get .fediverse
I always like the fact that the cTLD .uk exists and basically no one uses it. But I don’t think anyone pays to keep that one around.
Maybe i am misunderstanding but that is the country code for the united kingdom and is one of the most popular in the world
As of April 2021, it is the fifth most popular top-level domain worldwide, with over 10 million registrations.
