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)

No, but I do believe “Fediverse” is a reference to “faits divers”.
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.

Next you’ll be saying Disney World is a programming reference
well, I do now :-) nice observation
I thought that as well. I don’t believe it is, but you could tag him.
