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

    This is my question too. I’m not really interested in adding mastodon, etc. Posts to my feed, but I do want to see more pictures and I hoping someone can explain how to add pixelfed content to lemmy subscriptions/feed.

        What happens if someone creates a user with the same name as the community?

          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 pics@pixelfed.social, while the lemmy.world community would be pics@lemmy.world.

            I mean if on Pixelfed you @pics@lemmy.world, 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
