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.

    Is there no way for an app to say “give me the community only” or “give me the user only” when it calls the webfinger lookup thingy?
