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).
