From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's a Mastodon thread. This is Lemmy.
While Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities (such as this one: !linux@lemmy.ml or lemmy.ml/c/linux ) and see Lemmy posts in their feed, Lemmy users cannot normally comment on Mastodon threads.
Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities by mentioning the Community ( !KDE@lemmy.kde.social in this case). That allows Lemmy users to comment on it.

Nice! I missed that.
So Lemmy communities have a third form:
That's not even an official source either.
