iusearchlinux.fyi gone too. I'm glad feddit.ch at least announced this.
I don’t understand how they didn’t use .btw instead of .fyi for that instance.
No sure if this is a serious question, but .btw is not a TLD while .fyi is.
You can if you want to support the hosting of the requisite infrastructure https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs/faqs-en
The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don't come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)
Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)
