I honestly think those are bots and children. I was confused only very briefly by the least accessible explanations known to man, before figuring it out for myself. I just wish more people knew how to link !communities and @profiles.
!communities federation is busted. sometimes the final link is federated which makes it functionally useless for anyone outside the original instance. I haven’t been able to figure out why, just don’t down vote bomb anyone replying with a working link because it works for you, thanks.
I thought it was just my instance doing it! And everyone downvotes links no matter what. I think it’s something to do with apps opening them in the browser? I dunno
I think it’s just that they are more obvious here, so it led to a popular use term. Bigger issue is that they can be kinda annoying and I suspect it might only grow their numbers if they are the default community that potential redditors have as their first experience in lemmy.
Better than them going back to Reddit and thinking “Lemmy is just Tankies”
Like I’ve seen many times before

They probably don’t want the annoying people commenting “R slash funny” or “r slash clevercomebacks” on every post.
Your username gave me a mini heart attack.
I always hope people get a little giggle at the joke after the initial shock.
I didnt even hear the word tankie til I got here, its just other lemmy users keeping ppl away
