Ok that makes sense. Basically like "self" on reddit, which was also a bit confusing. It should probably say "article" or the instance it came from as you suggest.
Take this post, for instance:
https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/6403/Does-lemmy-world-allow-criticism-of-the-CCP
The user and magazine are both from Lemmy.world, but next to the title it says (fedia.io). What does that site in the parentheses mean?
