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 @ introduces the instance address. Just like in email addresses. inbox@domain. On lemmy it’s community@domain.

    A local instance may omit the @self, but works with it too.
