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.

      Apparently it depends on the community? I just tagged “@[email protected]” and it worked. My first try was with c/cats and it didn’t work.

        Can you link the post? I’m curious to see how that looks on Lemmy

            Correct. That’s the post.

          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

              I think you are right, but here it is where my knowledge falls short and why I didn’t write @[email protected] or [email protected]. I think those would be user and community respectively.
