I searched this morning for communities related to polyamory and open relationships. Finding nothing, I created something. If you are interested in polyamory, open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, etc, swing on by for a chat, to post something silly, as you will.

edit: !polyamory@kbin.run

    No, you need to literally put !polyamory@kbin.run instead of just !polyamory. It’s like dialing someone’s phone number who lives in a different country and not including the country code when you don’t include an instance.

      Hmm, do you realize when I copy each of those “!polyamory” (which appear as blue links) above, in your message, and then paste them next to each other in the text editor, that both of them are the same. LIke this: https://kbin.run/m/Polyamory

      which further confuses me as to what you are suggesting, as I think I’ve done what you suggested.

        !polyamory@kbin.run not !polyamory. It’s like trying to email “John”. John at what? You’re on kbin.run so it goes to !polyamory@kbin.run like you expect. When I click on !polyamory it tries to go to !polyamory@programming.dev because my instance is programming.dev.

          Ok, thank you, it appears the fog of ignorance has been dissipated by your brilliance. I apologize for being so dense. This should work a whole lot better.

            It’s okay. It’s sort of a complicated thing to explain. I was trying to not be overly technical but it’s sort of difficult to explain otherwise. ❤️ I subscribed, by the way. I’m excited to interact!

              Thanks friend, you did well by me. Yeah, me too. The @polyamory@lemmy.world group seems good as well. (LoL, hey, it worked!!) It’s been my observation that more people all the time are looking for relationship options that fit them better than the standard monogamy model. I used to think that poly was just one of those odd things about me that not everyone shares. And I got ok with that. But the percentage of false paternity speaks to the fact that people want to cheat reproductively or otherwise. Cheating sounds way too dangerous to oneself and one’s partners, with STIs, and even with hurt feelings. I prefer to talk about things, so everyone knows what’s going on, and each can decide how they want to play.
