When it comes to the name, in Lemmy's Matrix room there was some talk regarding it. The flagship instance should preferably have a different name from the software it is running; similarly to Matrix (the protocol) and Element (the client). This would also help decentralization so that users wouldn't equate the instance with Lemmy.

Why have a flagship instance? Seems to defeat the point of federation.
good point, nutomic said we could have multiple ones, to avoid centralization. but a flagship is useful for people who don't want to find a specific instance and just wanna make an account and get going.
