I think the name does a lot of heavy lifting in regards to pulling in new users. It sounds more official or general because of the world part.

Yeah, people just want a "generic" place because they generally don't want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I'm basically a vanilla NPC in my life and "sh.itjust.works" is simply too spicy!

I’m on the spicy instance? I couldn’t tell.
