Just joined and I’m looking around for communities. I went to search for an Android one and I saw an Android one but also [email protected]. Is that a specific instance’s Android?
Also minor question, are they called communities here? And it’s /c/ instead of /r/ right?
Edit: I may have figured it out. The instance I’m on doesn’t show the @ but other instances do. Is that correct?
The one without the @ part should be the community from your instance (e.g. if your account is in lemmy.ml then it is [email protected]). Since it is local, they just do not display the @ part
Communities without @ are those created on your local server, those with @ are created on other servers.
Yes, subbreddits on lemmy are called Communities, that’s why /c/ instead of /r/.

Exactly

Yes.
I recommend subscribing to the communities you’re interested in so you can see the posts only from those. It also keeps you from confusing communities with the same names from different instances. There’s no curated front page here, unlike reddit, so it’s good to curate your own experience.
