I just tried to make a post on Mastodon and tag a community in it so that my post would show up in that community – something I’ve done many times before.
However, in this case, there is a Lemmy user with the same name as the community, and it defaulted to tagging that user. Is there a way to tag the community specifically?
I didn’t even realize that a user could have the same name as a community. I thought every fediverse actor had to have a unique at-name-at-domain handle, and both users and communities were actors.
Nope, it’s just a.single route, no filters or qualifiers I am aware of.
One could go through the returned accounts and see which are users and which are groups, although that’s expensive and time consuming to do.
