    You’re on the Beehaw instance, like me, so you would be able to interact with that specific federated community at https://beehaw.org/c/stallmanwasright@lemmy.ml.

    If it helps you mentally decode the meaning of that URL, the community (the /c/ part of the URL) is named stallmanwasright, it’s hosted on lemmy.ml, and you interact with it through beehaw.org, which is where your account is that lets you subscribe, comment, etc.

    You can decode the other URL /u/noodlejetski@masto.ai gave you the same way. The community they sent is named kbinmeta, is hosted on kbin.social, and accessed through beehaw.org. Once you understand how it works, it’s pretty simple.

      While true, this doesn’t tell the whole story.
      I’m using kbin and can also interact with that specific community.

      This is the beauty of the fediverse, as long as you (or your instance) aren’t a dick you can interact across the entire thing from your own instance
