I think this is Reddit single handedly doing what we have been wanting for so long a.k.a. decentralised communities.

The only advantage(?) Reddit had over these was a user could have feed from all these communities which is still possible with RSS

Edit: I want to know where r/selfhosted ended up, anyone knows?

[e-mail] is very active.

short rant: one thing I dislike about these ActivityPub links is that given it is parsed as an email, you cannot click it. Plus, I have no idea how this “email” translates to the actual URL I am supposed to use.

Typically they're written with an `@` prefix, which implies that it may be a handle that supports WebFinger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebFinger

WebFinger technially uses a `acct:` URI protocol scheme, but this wouldn't work here. Lemmy writes community refs with a `!` prefix, which is somewhat unusual.

True:

https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted

In general with the fediverse you go to the domain after the @ and over there use the search box to find the part preceding the @. In this case that leads me to https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted

I think those in the bubbleverse think of that as a feature, not a bug.
