Appears on lemmy as a remote community here: https://lemmy.ml/c/helpers@forum.friendi.ca

…which i found interesting because so far I’ve only seen lemmy be able to support remotely subscribing to peertube channels (and remote lemmy communities).

However, when I put another friendica profile URL like https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/news in to the lemmy search box, it federates it as a remote user instead of a community: https://lemmy.ml/u/news@forum.friendi.ca

Can anyone explain what is going on here? cc @nutomic@lemmy.ml @dessalines@lemmy.ml
