It’s cute seeing Europeans work together!
Cooperation for the win!
For me feddit.uk stuck out as when I was joining Lemmy, (my initial choice was lemmy.world), it seemed like it would be a safe bet as it was clearly set up by UK based people that had also come from Reddit like myself, so it had a sense of familiarity. I’m guessing that’s why the other feddit.<tld> also became somewhat popular instances.
Guess it’s short for “federated reddit”?
Probably because someone started and then all the others saw it and went with it? I’d say it’s the same dynamics as if you’re the first one parking your car in a (not so obvious) no-parking zone, and you come back two hours later and there is a whole line of parked cars behind your’s. It’s kind of inevitable, especially after the second person did it…
And I mean it’s a bunch of instances named like this. But not an outrageous number… We have quite some diverse names for instances. And lemmy.something is the other super popular choice.
I only know the one.
At least it redirects to feddit.it.
It’s probably a more expensive domain and they might not have wanted to commit to that when it was still a small instance…
It’s the same tld, they have the same recurring costs.
Same TLD ≠ Same costs if they took over from someone that sold the domain.
feddit.ch was discontinued but active for a bit

Disproportionately high number of EU-Federation supporters?
