Sadly not relevant to my specific post, but I appreciate you spreading the word.

I think making a personal community, throwing it at lemmy-federate, and then posting it there really works best in this case.

I guess I have some homework to endlessly procrastinate do.

I reserve the right to feel guilty, embarrassed, sad, etc. for inappropriate reasons in much the same way I reserve the right to feel positive emotions for similarly nonsensical reasons, but I appreciate the logic of it and you for dispensing it.

Thank you.

In their defense, a feature that’s not known by everyone isn’t really the fault of the people who don’t know about it.

Thanks to you, now they and I know about it.

Unrelated but is there a way to convert someone else’s instance+community link to your own?

Obviously not faulting you for this, but when I click on your link I get taken to lemmy.zip, where I do not have an account so I cannot participate. I spent some time manually searching for that community on my own instance, which of course is a bit annoying for newbies and I would think there is a way around that I haven’t found yet.

Until now I honestly thought I’d have to host an Instance to create a Community, for some reason. Now I’m a bit embarrassed.

Thank you.

Edit for visibility:

This answer is the direction I chose to go in, mainly for simplicity’s sake.

If the fediverse gods are watching, it might be worth considering automatically making communities associated with people’s usernames. Maybe reserved automatically, but invisible unless you opt-in? That way nobody can create harassment communities targeting your username on your home instance. Just a thought.

Seems like a good community but sadly doesn’t fit my use-case for reasons I haven’t yet stated.

Thank you for the referral , though.

After poking around it does actually seem relevant, though it’s always against my nature to try to grab someone else’s limelight.

Yes, but definitely not proper form, as my left hand rests on WASD+CTRL/Shift+Space.

I’m around 100 wpm, so maybe it doesn’t matter.

While I completely understand people who can’t get to 100 wpm (much like people at 110+ completely understand me), I cannot fathom young adults who cannot touch-type (barring disability, obviously).

People rushing to log into their alts to declare anyone who participates in their secretly favorite communities is a degenerate so that whoever they think monitors their primary account might discover they are A Very Good Person:
