Does lemmy.world accept cross-post from pixelfed?

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 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
