I think so. Given the big picture, the things I've shared in my comment, we believe custom domains are one of the most valuable things we can work on for "the community as a whole" because they are upstream of growth.

Custom domains are to a large extent about the opposite: attracting people from outside the existing community.

Same, in a “territories should feel like territories” way, all the way back to when we decided how to even call them, but …

… this sounds more like one of the last steps.

I intended to use them for ~hyperlinks, for example. It’s a human-curated, constantly updated, list of interesting links. Can't thank everybody enough for their interest!

There's some personal bias in what you think of custom domains, I've always thought that territories could gain more independence, giving them the ability to be a website it's a great first step.

I can assure you that custom domains are just one of the many features we have planned for territories. And it's not the only feature currently in development.

We don't base our decision to implement features solely on the number of requests they receive [...] most valuable to the community as a whole.

 going to use custom domains? Which (existing) members of this community you think are going to use custom domains, such that it's the "most valuable [feature] to the community as a whole"? Or am I misunderstanding how you meant that?

Sorry for this possibly hard question, but I think it's important to ask and think about.

Tbh, this sounds corporate.

Are you going to use custom domains? Is @k00b going to use custom domains? Which (existing) members of this community you think are going to use custom domains, such that it's the "most valuable \[feature] to the community as a whole"? Or am I misunderstanding how you meant that?
