      .ml is reserved for Mali.

      .ca is Canada, .us is USA, .UK is United Kingdom. All the country’s have a top level domain. I also believe they can freely take back said domain as they wish.

      .ee in your case is Estonia. Since lemmy is the prefix for many instances, referring to their country TLD is sometimes easier.

      Mali didn’t have official control over their TLD until recently. It was always intended for Mali’s use. Thus, having a backup non-.ml domain would have been a prudent precaution to take (and still is, if you’re using any interesting TLDs that aren’t really intended for general use, like .io)
