    The most successful is still !movies@lemm.ee, with 3 active contributors, we are doing quite well.

    It’s okay, the others are slowly growing.

        You’ll want to ping my main most of the time. My account on ani.social is an alt in order for me to be able to create some communities there.

        But my actual everyday use account is on sopuli.xyz, as sopuli is geographically relevant to me as a finnish citizen.

      It’s mostly me posting on Animorphs, but people are slowly joining and every now and then someone throws up a comment.

      I don’t mind starting from nothing. I like putting content up and just having it there, knowing that on the off chance anybody looks it up, there’s going to be a whole bunch of content for them to swipe through.

      And that I contributed a little bit to /all.

      Gives me a good opportunity to reread the series also.

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !animorphs@sh.itjust.works

        Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about it!

          Does the link in my post not show up on other instances unless I type it that way?

          I still don’t understand formatting very well.

            Your link is directly to your instance, the one I used (with the ! in front) redirects to the instance of the reader

              So users on other instances can’t use the link in my post? Or they can’t see the link?

              I thought any community only exists on a single instance that other instances can view and access, do you mean every community is copied to all the other instances?

                They can use it, but wouldn’t be able to interact with it as it wouldn’t be their instance.

                Every community is copied to all the other instances

                For instance my instance version of your community: https://reddthat.com/c/animorphs@sh.itjust.works

                  That’s very interesting, thank you for explaining that.

                  I keep thinking I understand how basic federation works, and then something like this crops up haha.

                  So if they click on my link, they’ll be able to view it but not interact with it because it isn’t on their instance?

                  And each time a change is made in the animorphs community on any instance, that’s reflected to all animorphs communities on all instances?

                  It sounds like nodes of a crypto.

                  Then there can only be one animorphs community named “animorphs” and any other community would have to have a slightly different name?

                    Yes, their account wouldn’t work

                    Correct

                    Then there can only be one animorphs community named “animorphs” and any other community would have to have a slightly different name?

                    Yours is the unique !animorphs@sh.itjust.works .

                    Someone could create !animorphs@reddthat.com

                    The same way bill@gmail.com is not bill@hotmail.com
