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 "@pics@lemmy.world" 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
It's the only one posted to c/pics from pixelfed.social in the last hour.
Looks like it, thanks for sharing!
Correct. That's the post.
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
I think you are right, but here it is where my knowledge falls short and why I didn't write @pics@lemmy.world or !pics@lemmy.world. I think those would be user and community respectively.
As /c/cats and /u/cats both exist, this is easy to test.

Here's the post - Lemmy seems to prioritize the community.
