.lmk
Is .lmk a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .lmk in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Suffix Inc. named .lmk as the replacement string of its .wizard application.
A texting-slang suffix ("let me know") that suits RSVP, feedback and polling tools, but few serious projects would build on it.

No applications recorded for this TLD yet.
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: an unowned texting/email shorthand with no industry or community behind it, sold on instant recognition of a conversational signal rather than on a category of business.
Also a chat-register abbreviation bet — value comes from everyone already typing the letters daily, with the registry wagering that casual/social identity will pay for an inside-voice string instead of a descriptive noun.
The same internet-vernacular acronym wager, but tilted toward expressive novelty rather than the useful reply-prompt job .lmk does, so the buyer is a jokester rather than someone putting a working contact or share link on it.
What a .lmk domain is
.lmk is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Culture. Nobody has applied for .lmk in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .lmk domain extension real yet?
.lmk is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .lmk domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .lmk name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .lmk was .fyi, delegated on 22 May 2015.
Is .lmk a real TLD?
Not yet. .lmk is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .lmk as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/joke/narrow). The string reads as the texting abbreviation for "let me know", which gives it one natural semantic hook: addresses that are themselves a request for a reply (an RSVP page, a feedback form, a poll, a notification or messaging product). That hook is real but small, and it depends on the reader already knowing the abbreviation, which skews to younger English-speaking texting audiences; outside that group the suffix reads as noise. By analogy (flagged as analogy), existing slang and reaction strings such as .lol and .wtf have drawn registrations largely on promotional pricing and novelty, with little sustained primary-identity use and a thin aftermarket; .lmk is a less widely recognized abbreviation than those, so the analogy suggests it would land at or below their level. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no reason, by analogy, to expect volume registration beyond launch promotions or any brand signal that helps a project look credible. It is not in the 1-9 band because the call-to-action meaning gives a plausible, if narrow, set of end uses (reply-me style products and event pages) and some vanity demand. The applicant on the record, Suffix Inc., filed .lmk as a replacement string for a primary application for .wizard under a standard application type; that fact is stated neutrally and does not change the market view of the string itself. Main market uncertainty: whether the abbreviation is recognized broadly enough outside texting-native audiences for the suffix to carry its meaning when seen in an address, which decides whether the RSVP/feedback niche exists at all or the string is purely vanity.
