minus-square Ada ( @ada@blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink1•1 year ago@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).
