Hey, I feel a little confused. Uh, but also a little embarrassed that I feel like I need to ask, about these two because it feels like a really clear answer but I'm also shit with reading comprehension. So , it is in fact not all that clear to me ;-;
But would acommunity be under communal/pack attraction?

I think it's the reading comprehension fucking me up, since since the wordings are different and I feel more connected to the acommunity term and it makes more sense than the communal/pack attraction.
Also would be wrong to use the acommunity definition as a base instead of the communal/pack attraction's definition if the acommunity does belong under the community/pack attraction? (Asks the guy who does not feel any relation to the pack attraction's definition, but fully to the acommunity's definition with and without the aspec aspect of it.)
Regardless of the answer, thanks anyways !! I hope you have a good day/night!!
Self personally considers them separate things
Trying put words... way that self understands it, someone who is acommunal experiences no desire to form or join community, but may still experience a sense of identification with people who share similarities. Communal attraction is desire to form community, but says nothing on someone's experiences with... broader, for lack of better word, communities, more spread-out and less intimate ones
Whereas in self understanding, acommunity focuses more on those broader, less intimate communities, while also talking about those smaller intimate ones
Someone who is acommunal doesn't feel any desire to create or join a group, but they may still feel a connection with others of same ethnicity, species, nationality, religion, so on
Someone who is acommunity also doesn't feel desire to create or join group, but additionally experiences no connection to people who are of same ethnicity, species, nationality, religion, and so on
Communal/pack attraction also has strong (in self's opinion) ties to alterhumanity and adjacent experiences. Was coined at otherkin convention iirc, 'pack' as word has animalistic connotations. Acommunity does not
Self not sure if would consider acommunity aspec but is likely that is matter of technicality in way of thinking, as 'community attraction' is not term has been established prior
