Why YSK: to help keep the platform in order and help make the admins and mods’ work easier.
The !lemmy.world community is only about this instance of Lemmy, and the content in it is also meant to be so.
We have a lot of communities here now, and so we can keep our posts and feeds in order! Let’s use them for what they’re meant to be and support all the amazing communities popping up! For news and discussions about Reddit, you may visit the relevant community. Let’s always try to search for the appropriate communities before posting content.
What is the ! community? Is that some sort of lemmy specific magic name?
@yads @clueless_stoner The ! Has never worked for me. Just the @name@whateverinstanceis works for me
The ! is Lemmy language for “group, not user”. But it only works in Lemmy, which is probably why kbin is not following suit.
How you distinguish between users and groups in kbin I have no idea, but whatever it is I guess it’s supposed to work in Mastodon as well.
@sab @clueless_stoner @yads Yea when the blackout started I didn’t know what I was doing. Created a username on lemmy.world and some subs. Found about mastodon created an account there and didn’t realize I only needed one Lol. I use the lemmy username for upvoting and my subs but I use Mastodon for everything else. Comments, replies etc… I like the local and fedeversetabs on Mastodon. I guess everyone got there own niche.
