> md = markdown

Makes sense. Is (EDIT: the use of the TLD) .md a convention in the markdown community?

Yes. I have seen the .mdown extension also, but .md is the default in every editor I've used, and it's a default for readme files on Gitlab and GitHub.
We're talking about the website here, not the file format. .md is the top-level-domain for Moldova, Obsidian.md exists at that address by the good graces of the Moldovan government.
