You technically could, though there are burrows (the Lemmy term for communities) that are better for it, since this one is more for questions.
Remember that if a burrow doesn't exist that's to your liking, you could always make one (and I might join).
Ive been on Lemmy for awhile and you are the first person I've seen refer to a Lemmy community as a burrow - where did you get the term from?
I tried to search engine it but they still don't seem to like indexing lemmy.
People on Lemmy are referred to as Lemmings, named after the animal, which makes its homes in burrows. One day someone asked what the equivalent here for "subreddit" was and burrows were mentioned and everyone was like "yeah let's do that"... I still have the reply chain link that shows all that, though the post itself is removed, so on my end that exchange doesn't show up anymore.
c/changemyview IS the Lemmy burrow
Edit:
Edit: u can join me in my private
burrowanytime ;)Oh... misinterpreted that as just a part of the example, my bad.
Feel free to join me in my private
burrowanytime ;)I'd love to. Which one is it?
I was being saucy, I don't run any private instances aha. Feel free to bookmark me however you like or DMs tho ;)
Edit: what does your username mean?
It's a convoluted anime reference. Shinigami are the Japanese equivalent to reapers and commonly feature in Shintoism which finds its way into anime. "Ookami" and "Ryuu" are anime characters associated with shinigami. I forgot the whole story of my username, but I know I was attempting to copy over from DeviantArt which is a site I use too.
Ah k, thanks for that. I dont know anything about anime unfortunately, was more into adult swim ;)
