Thank you for the response. One more question. For today. I don’t want to be exhausting.
From your explanation, I get why Risa in the screenshot below shows in the lower left corner as startrek.website/c/risa because Risa is hosted by Star Trek.
In this next screenshot I took, does [email protected], as an example, show (in the lower left corner of the image) as startrek.website/c/[email protected] because beehaw.org or [email protected] is an instance of Star Trek? edit – hmm. The links in this paragraph show as clickable hyperlinks. The Risa link in the previous paragraph did not.
You’re seeing that because you’re tabbed over to “All” instead of “Local” - That’s probably showing you, at a minimum, all the communities, from all the instances, that people visited from. So in that example, you’re looking at https://beehaw.org/c/technology which is on a different instance.
I believe it’s because of federation. Beehaw.org is a “symbolic” subdomain of startrek.website since you’re accessing from your account at startrek.website.

I took both screenshots while logged in to my Lemmy Star Trek account. I’m currently only subscribed to Star Trek.

I have learned new things today. Thank you all for taking time to answer!

Okay. So if I had joined a beehaw.org site, and pulled up this Star Trek site, then the web address would show as beehaw.org/c/startrek.website.

Correct
