Do you know how many times I get a blank webpage that cannot be found, only to realize it's because I mistyped the URL?
Honestly, someone should get on this.

Sounds like you should do it

Worlf isn't a valid TLD from what I can find, so I don't think that's possible, unless that's another typo.
You can technically register a new TLD, but that is super expensive.

If you’re on a desktop (Linux/UNIX/Windows) computer you could probably just add it to your HOSTS file though you’d get TLS warnings. Maybe host an HTTP-only web server serving the redirect to the correct domain.

Alternatively you could just make a fucking bookmark in your browser like a normal person.

Have you never heard of bookmarks? Or, you know, just leaving a tab with your choice of lemmy instances open in it at all times?

My phone can handle 99 tabs. At all times 99 tabs are open. At any given time at least 70 of those tabs are Lemmy.World home page with me already signed in.
Yet every time I open a new tab and type Lemmy.World. At least 1 in 20 times I type Lemmy.Worlf.

Wait a second, you browse Lemmy on your phone in a normal browser? Why not use one of the many many apps specific to the fediverse? Do you have masochistic tendencies?

Why would I use an app?

Well, for one you won't have to constantly type in lemmy.world!

I know GH bad and all that, but there's https://guthib.com/
Edit: apparently I misremembered and it doesn't redirect you

Everything about this reply confuses me.

Let me rephrase:
I know Github is somewhat despised around here (because it's owned by Microsoft), but there's a site named Guthib.com whose only purpose is telling people they spelled "Github" wrong.
This post reminded me of this.

That was extensively done, especially in the. beginning of the internet. Scammers would register typo domains and plaster them full of ads. It's still. being done today, but with basically everyone using Google as the address bar it's probably less effective.
