I've added a link to your community and I decided to convert my community to "ADHD Memes" instead. This way we won't compete for the same engagement.

Could you change your link to the following: [ADHD Memes](/c/[email protected])? This will ensure correct context and also link natively through each user's own instance so they can post and comment directly.
