lubuntu.net vs lubuntu.me?

Question

Whenever I google for Lubuntu, lubuntu.net is always appear on the top result. I thought that this was the official site (wasn't sure about this).

https://www.google.com/search?q=download+lubuntu

However, I've just noticed that there are two sites for Lubuntu.

lubuntu.net vs lubuntu.me

https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ only offers older version 19.04

while

https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ offers latest version which is 20.10.

Are they from similar or different team?

Which one is the official site for Lubuntu?

Looks kind of obvious to me, but the official one is lubuntu.me. — mikewhatever, Dec 04 '20 at 14:23
Does this answer your question? Which Lubuntu website is the correct one? — Random Person, Dec 04 '20 at 14:34
If you're not sure, don't ask google (unless you can evaluate its answers & know which is legitimate, fan or fake). Ask Ubuntu.com (ie. https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours will take you to official sites, as they're all kept under Canonical control with access only to flavor team members). In that case it'll take you to lubuntu.me (fyi: Canonical is the company, who along with the Ubuntu Community stand behind Ubuntu). — guiverc, Dec 05 '20 at 23:07
