There's definitely a distinction
(lemmy.world)
I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.
I've heard it a few times recently, then saw something posted in i think the autism instance? Dunno, not sure which it was, but this popped into my head and thought it illustrated it neatly.
Unrelated but I just wanted to say thanks for giving me the word ‘instance’. Been struggling to find a word besides ‘subreddit’ 😖
I’m a fucking idiot: community is not a hard word lmao
I, too, am an idiot. Community never crossed my mind.
Community and Instance actually have a hard meaning here. Communities are the equivalent of subreddits, while instances are the equivalent of reddits. Reddit only had the one instance of course.
I wonder if mastodon has communities. Or is there a more twitter thing they do?
I think mastodon is more akin to Twitter, but I can’t really say as I haven’t used it. Thanks for that clarification though, it is a pretty important distinction.
