minus-squareAdalinkfedilink0•1 year ago@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I got it working from friendica! That was using the ! to tag it, which explicitly tags it as a community. I imagine the @ works fine as well, as long as there isn’t a user and a community with the same name. Not sure what would happen then, and haven’t been able to test that
minus-squareanderslinkfedilink1•1 year ago@ada @anders @ada Cool! As long as you tag with the server domain name included it shouldnt tag another user.
minus-squareAdalinkfedilink1•1 year ago@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The issue is that lemmy allows groups and users to have the same name. So, if for some reason, on my instance, I created a group called ada, there would be [email protected] (the group) and @[email protected] (the user). The ! is how you explicitly state that it’s a group, but most platforms don’t recognise that (Friendica and lemmy being the two obvious exceptions).
