I was surprised to visit itjust.works (without the sh.) and find an IT company. How did the url sh.itjust.works come to be, amazing name and all?

    Haha, well sir: that IT company owns the itjust.works TLD and apparently someone there used the same domain for the instance. Sh is just a subdomain of itjust.works.

    Fine and hilarious folks at itjust.works: get a certificate for your webpage!

      If you click on the logo for XIRGO it takes you to a site with a certificate. I think whoever owns XIRGO set up the itjust.works domain for some redirects and decided lemmy would be the best time to use the domain. @TheDude Am i right? <also can someone help me hyperlink/tag the account LOL>

    I believe I recall reading a thread about Lemmy and someone said “I own the domain itjust.works, suggest a subdomain and I’ll host an instance” and someone replied with “sh.itjust.works.” Then again, I may have hallucinated this.
