If you wanna do that then the post needs to have a title and then tag the community in the beginning of the post with either ! or @. Feel free to send a link to your post here if it doesn’t work then I might be able to tell you what’s wrong as I have tested it quite a lot now. Lemmy’s compatibility with other platforms isn’t so good in my opinion so it doesn’t take much mistake for it to just ignore one’s post.
I imagine the @ works fine as well, as long as there isn’t a user and a community with the same name. Not sure what would happen then, and haven’t been able to test that

@anders@rytter.me @anders@venera.social @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone I got it working from friendica! That was using the ! to tag it, which explicitly tags it as a community.

Cool! As long as you tag with the server domain name included it shouldnt tag another user.
@anders@rytter.me @anders@venera.social @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone The issue is that lemmy allows groups and users to have the same name.
So, if for some reason, on my instance, I created a group called ada, there would be !ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone (the group) and @ada@lemmy.blahah.zone (the user).
The ! is how you explicitly state that it’s a group, but most platforms don’t recognise that (Friendica and lemmy being the two obvious exceptions).

Ah okay. Didn’t know that :O
