I send people links to Photon to show people how nice everything is here. Concise, typeable URLs help where possible.

To recommend Lemmy in general: phtn.app
When linking a thread: https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/63146216
When linking a community: https://phtn.app/c/fediverse@lemmy.world or https://photon.lemmy.world/c/fediverse
When recommending an instance: the instance's Photon front end like phtn.lemmy.blahaj.zone or p.feddit.uk

The domain names don't seem very inviting.

Some awful domain parker yoinked photon.app and i'll forever hold a grudge against all domain parkers

They can't all be spectra.video or lethallava.land . We need a Lemmy instance with some real market research money going into the domain.

Are spectra.video and lethallava.land special? Idk about them.

Also didn't mean to diss you, just that, I as a new person to lemmy would have avoided them. There's a mix of rational and irrational fear for weird looking links in me.
