I was reading the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
daily_snitch and saw in the community section "![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fantasyverse is a new land community." My reaction then was "what is a 'land community'?" so I headed over to the comm profile, which in the about section also only says that it is a "land community" but does not explain what that is, but it apparently involves teams and challenges. I then head to the FAQs which unfortunately don't give a definition either.
At this point I assume that it must be some sort of incredibly common thing that everybody (except apparently me) in fandom is familiar with. I tried looking in Fanlore, but that wiki failed me too, because it does not have an article on this. I tried following affiliated links, but aside from ending up on a master list of land comms that showed me that there are a ton of them, I didn't easily find a link to a clear definition what they are either.
Could anyone on my flist give me an explanation what these communities are/do?
