    @JonEFive @s804 really? Kbin uses @ to identify it’s a magazine, when every other platform on the 'verse (GNU Social, Friendica, Lemmy, etc.) uses ! to identify that its a group?

      Ok, I had to play with this a bit to try to see what’s going on because I have seen the ! notation elsewhere as well. It looks like if I type !community@instance ( !technology@beehaw.org ) it creates a link automatically but it takes me to /m/!community instead of just /m/community. If I use @community@instance ( @technology ) it takes me to /m/community. Interestingly though, the @ notation looks like it also works for users but also has the odd problem of including the @ symbol in the link when the address isn’t expecting it @jonefive@kbin.social ( @jonefive ) takes me to /u/@jonefive but it should be /u/jonefive

      Edit: There’s an issue logged for this: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199

        @JonEFive @s804 I know Mastodon doesn’t recognize the !. Using the @ will let you comment on posts from a community you are following, (and all posts to the community show as if the community “user” re-tooted them all in your feed), but posting original posts from Mastodon doesn’t work well. It used to not work at all, since Mastodon implemented the ActivityPubl implementation for Title “wrong” (a title from another instance shows as a Content warning on Mastodon, and posting a Content warning on mastodon doesn’t show like a title anywhere unless they have software specifically designed to recognize its from mastodon and handle it differently) I know there had been a lemmy change to specifically use the first line of a toot from mastodon to @communityname@instan.ce as a title to a new post, but I have only seen it ever look like garbage. Even though Mastodon is by far the most popular platfrom on the 'verse its really the least feature rich. Even the granddaddy of them all (GNU Social) has more features, though the code isn’t regularly maintained (v3 being released feels like “when Covid is over” level of never).

          @s804 @JonEFive my understanding is #Kbin is the new kid on the block, with lots of promise, one of the reasons i created a different kbin.social account weeks ago. My understanding is that original implementation had been done only in Polish from within Poland and is just now reaching the rest of the world.
