What does the ML in Lemmy ML stand for? (lemmy.ml)

I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they're not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it's not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it's a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine Learning? McCartney Lennon? Mega Lemmy?

Why isn't there another domain that they could have used so it doesn't look like they're from Mali?

Price.

The more common the tld (.com and .net for example are often double the price of many others) the more expensive it is to keep that domain registered.

Why is it top level if it's so rare?

"top level" just refers to that part of a website address. Think of it like a home address. "Road" or "Lane" etc would be the top level domain, then the road name would be the next level, and then the house number would specify exactly where on that particular road you want to go.
