    You just did. By @ mentioning a community you created a post. I’m replying to your post from Lemmy. You can follow the community on mastodon just by using the same @ address as you did in your post. You can follow Lemmy users, but they can’t follow you.

      Does the @ mention blast every “technology” community across all federated instances? How did it get posted here without naming a specific instance?

        You have to qualify what instance I’m your @ mention. Clients are just truncating it since we’re already here on this instance.

        The Lemmy and Mastodon services aren’t great at being interoperable. There’s at least one service out there that’s trying to interconnect all (or most) fediverse services, but I don’t remember enough about to turn up the the name in search.
