They always have fun with the “attribution” of that incomplete explanation tag for new comics 😄

the difference between community <-> user are less than youd think. the hurdles are nearly identical

As a matter of fact, if you look up a Lemmy community (or *bin magazine) on i.e. Mastodon, you’ll see it’s literally just a user that boosts all posts/comments posted to it

I don’t ActivityPub has any concept of communities, since even microblog-focused groups (like Guppe) work that way

Edit: not really, see replies

I don’t know about this one, I think Randall would be a good president. I support his policies.

It looks like the bricks on the top front of the building and the sign are photoshopped in

If you zoom in, those bricks are much bigger than the bricks around the garage doors and on the side, and the transition is rounded and happens in the middle of bricks. Whoever made this must not have masked out the pole (assume that’s also legit) because the brick texture and the bottom of the sign go over it

The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)

Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)
