Every time I browse https://lemmyverse.net, I see one of the top instances in terms of registered users is https://enterprise.lemmy.ml. Right now it has 54.2k users, putting it behind lemmy.world and ahead of lemmy.ml. However, if I go there, there’s almost no content, even on All (which implies it’s not federated). Is it a test instance with fake users or something?

    .world is a newer gTLD whereas .ml is a more well known country code TLD. whatever auto linking code the lemmy UI uses likely just isn’t up to date with all these comparatively recent TLDs

      Could also be the case, but there is like 1600 TLDs these days, ranging from foo.accountants to bar.walmart (just testing if they autolink, I don’t think they will. edit: they didn’t).

      Maybe at somepoint it makes sense to exclude some of the more common terms to avoid accidental linking by people that don’t use spaces after punctuation (I hate them). But could also just be an up-to-date issue, I’m just speculating.
