A lot of sillier looking top level domains are cheaper then .com or .org and fediverse services are run off of donations so people opt for cheaper names.
If that's the case, I'm surprised the lemmygrad server doesn't use the .su top-level domain. I'm not even sure if those domain names can be purchased for it since the origin country no longer exists.
you can get an .su domain and there are a lot of them. they're unsurprisingly administered by a Russian institution according to IANA, the Russian Institute for Public Networks
