I tagged a lemmy.world community in one of my pixelfed posts and nothing happened.

    Not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.

    I think all name disambiguation is made by adding the instance name after. So if someone has the user pics in pixelfed.social, it would be [email protected], while the lemmy.world community would be [email protected].

      I mean if on Pixelfed you @[email protected], what happens if there’s a user with that name. Does it post to the community or send a message to the user somehow?

      On lemmy communities start with ! while users start with @ … but it looks like you used @ to reference the community
