I've seen communities starting with c/ (such as c/newcommers) but also communities starting with r/ (like r/random), what is the difference?

  • communities always start with /c
  • The r/random isn't a community but a very fresh piefed feature that just come out today : it is an exploring button. You hammer it to find new communities :)

This seems like it is going to come up a lot, as people freshly migrate here from Reddit.

Yes, i think /r/random coffuse new users, most of them are from reddit. We should wait a little and ask again for feedback.

I saw a nice idea : piefed.social/random :)
