Forgive me if this is truly a stupid question but I cannot find the answer and I have been afraid to ask.
Am attaching a screen shot to assist my babbling below.
When surfing thru the various communities (and please feel free to correct me if I use a wrong term here) I will see many that have the same name but only difference is that at the end of that name, there is an ‘@xyz.ca’ or similar.
I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?
However I have seen several - like the one where my arrow points to that doesn’t have an ‘@‘ location at the end of it. Can someone explain to me the difference here? Thanks
Users and communities hosted on the instance you’re viewing (in this case it’s lemmy.world) don’t show their home instance.
i.e. my name appears as just “bewilderedraven” to other lemmy.world users reading this but users logged into other instances (such as lemmy.ml) should see something like “@[email protected]” the some applies to communities.
