Yeah but I also want to share specific communities. I’m in a bunch of coops and union focused groups on facebook so I’ve been trying to get people to join lemmy and contribute their links. People who run cooperative economy programs that might be interested in letting people know about grants and stuff, but I think they’re put off at least in part by the friction of linking them etc.
it’s probably the .ml domain. they should change it. i wonder of they own lemmy.social? would be good since most of the fediverse uses .social as the primary domain :)
It’s a technical thing that someone can probably explain in more detail, but once other instances start pointing toward your posts on lemmy.ml or whatever your domain is, then changing your domain later on will break that at minimum (there are probably worse consequences, but like I said I don’t know everything under the hood)
Try using join-lemmy.org if you want to share it!

You can’t just change a federated domain
why?
