From mastodon to follow an account or a community on lemmy you use the @name@server format and there is no difference between a community name and a user-name
so i was wondering if anyone tried and checked what happened

That’s not how Lemmy works. Lemmy uses Actor URLs of
https://host.tld/u/userwhich is referenced via@user@host.tld, and communities arehttps://host.tld/c/communityreferenced as!community@host.tld. So there is no overlap.@ex_06@slrpnk.net
!lemmy@lemmy.ml
I’m talking about mastodon interacting with Lemmy, not Lemmy interacting with itself.
Thank you for taking your time to answer for me!
No worries!
I don’t follow… Lemmy and Mastodon both require port 443, so a single hostname of
lemmy.mlcan’t run both. Lemmy and Mastodon handle users the same way, just Mastodon doesn’t have!communities.I’m talking about a mastodon user referencing a Lemmy community vs a Lemmy user. Mastodon apparently uses the same syntax for both.
Ohhhh. My understanding is initial @ in Mastodon is only required for users, and would default to user over community, while leaving off the initial @ would do community. I have not validated that in the source, though.
